Artist's Statement:

Art is a silent language. For me, a successful painting is one that “reads” from across the room and then pulls you to it. It should hold your interest at a distance and more intimately close up. A painting should not only communicate, but should have something important to say.

I like to experiment with objects viewed from a different angle, different color combinations, different mediums and surfaces. Sometimes I work fast…getting that initial “gut” feeling. Sometimes I work slowly with underlying subliminal messages. I feel I freed myself to truly paint when I quit trying to please other people and painted just for myself.

About Estelle Howard

I am Estelle Howard and my love of color has been my inspiration to endeavor to create beauty with my art. As a student in school, my favorite subject was Art History and the time for drawing and painting with crayons. Later in life, my neighbor introduced me to oil painting. It was a jump start on this wonderful journey of painting. I joined an art book club to continue learning how other artists work. I also enrolled in college courses and took some workshops with some well known artists. I was introduced to watercolor and was fascinated by its luminosity and its glowing quality. Watercolor is a challenge as it has a way of its own and keeps me trying to improve on every painting. Life as an artist has been a fascinating journey and hopefully others can see the vision that I try to portray. I seek the beauty of God's creation and thank Him daily for the sight to see His glorious wonders. My thanks to you for viewing my paintings.
