Artist : Randall Lake

Randall Lake is 21st century painter drawn to 19th century realism.  Trained in Europe, he is widely recognized for his brightly colored pallette, landscape and portrait work and for his gorgeous still life, floral and teacup paintings.  His work is found in many national collections.

“My paintings are painted from life, I dislike working from photographs because the photographic image is so static and unchanging that one ends up copying the material rather than interpreting. There is nothing like painting on location for that chemistry bred of urgency, of wanting to get it right, of struggling to capture the momentary, and of having to discern what is essential and what is not.”
