MAKING EVERY BRUSHSTROKE COUNT

Welcome! I’m Charles, a seasoned artist with over thirty years of professional painting experience.

My artistic endeavors have taken me across diverse landscapes, from embellishing healthcare facilities and museums to adorning churches, government buildings, and private spaces with my work.

With expertise spanning a multitude of mediums, I specialize in crafting captivating murals, highly detailed paintings, lifelike portraits, intricate mosaics, and delicate restoration projects.

Collaborating with the lovely and talented Bonnie Lee Turner on expansive mural and mosaic endeavors is a highlight of my career. We’re always eager to embark on new adventures, welcoming commissions that allow us to travel and create bespoke works of art.

Here’s a glimpse into the artistic services I offer:

Murals: From grand, hand-painted murals adorning the walls of Rhode Island Hospital to intricate dioramas gracing Science Museums in New Jersey, I specialize in creating custom designs of any scale and scope.

Paintings: Commission an oil or acrylic masterpiece on cotton or linen canvas, or explore original pieces from my private collection, featuring breathtaking Rhode Island seascapes and more.

Portraits: Capturing not just appearances but personalities, my hand-painted portraits in oil, acrylic, charcoal, pastel, or mosaic form are timeless treasures. Delve into my portfolio, which includes heartwarming pet portraits and captivating character studies.

Restoration Work: With a passion for preserving the past, I am highly adept at restoring damaged murals and decorative art. Highlights in my career include revitalizing the historic mural in the dome of the Rhode Island State House and rejuvenating the faux finish at the Stadium Theatre in Woonsocket, RI.

I am based in Rhode island but I travel on assignment. I’m always on the lookout for captivating commissions, so I invite you to embark on a journey of creativity with me. Let’s explore the boundless possibilities of creating unique and inspiring art together.
 

Warm regards,

Charles C. Clear III
