Curtis Crain

I paint mostly in an impressionistic style, based on the influence of European and American artists from the late 1840’s through the end of the century. I enjoy working thick and fast, My favorite place to paint is from my sailboat, I will paint almost anything; I just love moving paint around. I like everything about oil paint, the texture, the smell, for me the components seem to have a life.

My favorite subjects are boats, waterscapes, and people. Most of my work is objective, loosely painted, with liberties taken on detail and color. I strive to say more with less. After 50 years of painting I'm fortunate to have paintings hanging in quite a few places. My Favorite gallery is Edgewood Orchard. Always a student, always grateful.
