About Me
- Charles Pompilius
- Naples, FL, United States
- I am a painter based in Naples, Florida. My work has been shown in exhibitions throughout the United States including New York, San Francisco, Milwaukee, Scottsdale, and Birmingham, MI. I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Central Michigan University and a Master of Fine Arts degree from the University of Iowa. In 1984 I attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture on scholarship. I have taught painting at the university level, and I am the recipient of a Pollack-Krasner Award and a Michigan Council for the Arts Creative Artist Grant. In 2011 I completed the official portrait of Michigan’s Governor Jennifer Granholm, which now hangs in the capitol rotunda in Lansing. In 2013 I painted Allan Gilmour, President Emeritus, Wayne State University. In 2016 I was commissioned to paint the official portrait of U.S. Congressman Fred Upton, now hanging in the Rayburn Building in Washington, D.C. I am currently developing a series of paintings based on a floral motif.
I struggle with the same thing. I think it has to do with the value of red at full strength. I can only add green to make a shadow color and then add orange plus white for a highlight.
ReplyDeleteShe looks beautiful.
Great job as always.
Charles, you should have been a surgeon. Do you use a magnifier when working. I truly don't see how you can work so small! By the way, love this!
ReplyDeleteYou're right Tina. I think he uses brushes with no more than 2 hairs per brush. lol.
ReplyDeleteThe results of your efforts are astonishing.
As always, masterful!
ReplyDeleteCharles, this painting is a Beauty! Her eyes, nose, lips, and the way her hand touches her neck is such intimacy.
ReplyDeleteThe red compounds this. It's hard to look away. I'll just slap myself!
SUPERB RED LADY !
