Christopher McCall
Painting
Malinda

"Basically, my initial intent in approaching my work is to lay down an impression; either of an object or an arrangement of flowers, a single blossom or fruit, in an interesting composition, pleasing to the eye; the challenge being to capture the "essence" of the objects before me and the light in which they are placed."

"In addition there must be a concept, a goal, my perception of those objects with regard to light, depth or intensity of color; namely "Chiaroscuro", coming from the dark into the light, as inspired by the Masters of the 18th and 19th Centuries." 

Painting: "Victorian Roses in the Light"
