Christine McBryan, a classical realist, takes the naturalistic approach of the Old Masters. Influenced by painters such as Titian, Van Dyke, Velasquez and Sargent. She paints portraits, landscapes and still lifes. Her background in textiles brings a heightened sense of texture and design to her paintings. “While my goal is always to render an honest painting with attention to the basics – contour, form, tone and color – the real challenge is to be completely open to what my subject has to offer. Then with a little imagination, I hope to interpret something of what I have learned back onto the canvas with sensitivity and respect for my subject whether it is a portrait, nude, landscape or still life.
