Rooted in the American Tradition of Realism, Richard Henry at The Gallery of CNY
Artist’s Statement: With a passion for the arts in my DNA and experience with varied paint mediums, I am trying to present a fresh means of expression with each new painting exploration. Working with vigorous, moving watercolor, I capture momentary visual sensations. With oil and acrylic, I translate these works and their immediacy with the stunning accuracy and vitality of oils and acrylics.
