“American Light” in the Gallery

That’s the title for the exhibit featuring paintings by visual artist, Al Stelton, that will be on display in the EAC Gallery for the month of August.

Al is a self-taught artist accomplished in several mediums and currently working in oil paint. His artistic abilities surfaced during his formative years drawing, doodling, and later painting on a variety of surfaces. His artwork grew into a passion that continues today.

From researching his subject matter, attention to every detail, from the composition, to rendering painting in full detail, Al strives to produce a high-quality painting. Subject matter is no problem for Al, who has tackled subjects from portraits to wildlife to western fare.

Growing up in a small community prepared him for his artistic journey - close to wildlife, nature, always observing, paying attention to the harmony of his world around him.

Al says, “I have just the greatest time when I’m working at my easel. The only thing better is the research leading to the painting or maybe the anticipation of the end results. The charge that I get from it keeps me going.”

This exhibit runs from August 1 through August 30 during regular Gallery hours on Friday and Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Be sure to stop in to see what Al “having the greatest time” has created. You will be amazed at the results!
