Greg Barnes

Landscapes are Greg’s love, and his versatility shines with abilities in charcoal, pastel, and oil. With pastel as his as his choice medium, he has become an expert at recreating lively scenes. The color effect of pastels is closer to the natural dry pigments than that of any other process.
Greg enjoys painting on location, and as a result of working quickly, leans towards impressionism. A mix of realistic and impressionistic elements give his pieces a life of their own, while a free and creative use of color punctuates his style.
Greg currently splits his time between painting in his studio/gallery in Charlotte, NC, showing at national art shows across the country, and teaching.
