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.
Good work Charles, The light coming on the figure is very well done. and yes she looks melancholic. Some one should take her dancing.
ReplyDeleteAnother successful composition, Charles. The frame of the mirror introduces an interesting element of uncertainty, making the viewer linger and take a second look.
ReplyDeleteLovely painting , like the light and like the colours.
ReplyDeleteThis painting is a sad song to me. That bit of light across her hair and face evokes a feeling of looking through tear filled eyes.
ReplyDeleteAs always Charles, amazing.
Beautiful painting. Very moving. Makes me wonder what has made her feel this way. You have captured deep emotion. Love the light in this piece.
