ARTIST’S STATEMENT:

EVERY PAINTING IS AN ORIGINAL

“Each painting becoming developed through a different attitude. Each time I began painting it was as if I had experienced what master artists of the past must have imagined during the process of creating their impressions. As I kept experimenting with different techniques it became evident to me that I had sometimes gotten in touch, spiritually, with some of these legendary painters. After allowing this process to flow, I realized I had found a way to have my images become more in keeping with the eloquent, spontaneous, brush strokes of these masters.”

The artist, Edward Longo is also founder of Original-Art-Paintings.Com

DESCRIPTIVE OF AN INSPIRATIONAL ARTIST:

“Creative painting is not merely the process of executing ones medium, such as oil, or acrylic - it is the art of transferring ones feelings
from the palate onto the canvas. Ultimately, when the artists work is being observed it will be appreciated for the inspiration that
transpired during its inception. Creative art, therefore, simply becomes a matter of transference of feelings. To put it succinctly: Art without feeling is tantamount to observing a stained glass window without light, or a Tiffany lamp without its electricity.”
