I had heard of Charles Wallis for several years before I met him.  Ocassionally I’d see some of his work.  I was impressed by its quality.  The other day, I met Charles during First Friday in Bryan, Texas.  I took the opportunity to invite him to be part of oldartguy.com.  I’m pleased to say that he accepted the invitation.


CHARLES WALLIS

Charles Wallis is a graduate of the Baylor University fine art program as well as outside courses  during high school.  After college he opened a graphic design studio beginning his career as a professional artist and taught graphic design courses at Baylor University in the evenings while in business.

His paintings reflect mastery of his craft and versatility in a variety of styles and media. He paints in a traditional realistic style, as well as impressionistic and  abstract.

“My art is the expression of my spirit to the spirit of others that connect with it. I seek to create amemory, a wish, a fantasy or
moment of joy or peace inthe soul of the viewer.  I pursue Ideas, color combinations or images that attract my attention in the abstract;  or as an impression; and some paintings are just for the fun of presenting something in an unusual manner.  I am drawn to Western Art, Southwest scenes and wildlife painting as first loves.

"The essence of all art is to have pleasure in giving pleasure to others"
