Hello I�m Stuart Engel. I have been painting and drawing all of my life. I am inspired by music, color, and the search to capture the movement and feeling of the moment. I mostly paint with acrylics and sand. I do my best to allow each viewer to see the same painting differently, by leaving pieces for each viewer to automatically fill out ,in their minds.
I grew up in the DC area and moved to Boulder, CO in the late 70�s where I began my professional artist career. My last show in Boulder was at the Boulder Graduate School 1989.Since that time I raised 3 daughters and continued to paint as much as possible. I�m very excited for new people to see my work and hopefully relate to it enough to purchase a piece and take it home to enjoy forever.
Music is incredibly important to me. After seeing my first live show in 1972 I was moved to follow music and soak up as much as possible. My favorite show and band has always been Led Zeppelin. With that said, I�ve been lucky enough to have Robert Plant sign two oil paintings I did of him. I�m excited to be able to offer such unique pieces to fellow art and music lovers.
I�ve always been drawn to skies and trees. I love to paint the dramatic colors of sunsets, and many times will mix it up to incorporate surreal colors and textures.
My compositions and subjects are quite eclectic. I�ve never been one to stick to one theme. I�m excited to sit in front of a blank canvas and not know exactly what will be coming.
Thank you for taking time to experience my art. I hope I have inspired or moved you.
Stuart Engel
