ACRYLIC ON CANVASBRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA "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. I try to focus all my energy on capturing the most important elements in a scene. 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." Charlie Easton comes from a family of fine British painters. He moved to Vancouver, Canada, in 2006 and immediately fell in love with the same scenery that inspired many of the group of seven artists. Getting outside to paint is a priority for Charlie, as he tries to capture light, colour and movement in all of his pieces. A prolific painter of landscapes and seascapes in both oils and acrylics, Charlie is represented by galleries across North America and Europe.
