Award wining Canmore based artist, Charlie Easton, will be hosting a painting demo and artist talk at Gallery Merrick! A Senior Signature Member of the Federation of Canadian Artists (SFCA), Charlie Easton's teaching is in high demand.
“The closer I can get to my subject – both physically and mentally – the more honest and impactful my paintings are. I want the viewer to come hiking with me, to ski by my side, and to see the same stunning views that get me so excited to be alive.
Optically, I’m fascinated by focus. How the eye and mind latches onto just a few deeply moving elements within a landscape to create a simplified and evocative statement of place.
I try to focus all my energy on capturing these important elements. Expending energy on anything that gets in the way of the story just isn't worth it. I paint in a style which mirrors my life motto. Maximum fun, minimum fuss."
Don't miss this opportunity to see Charlie Easton's work come to life on the canvas, and hear more about his process and love of plein air.
Painting Demo 12-4pm
Artist Talk 2pm
