About

Gary Arnold, The New Orleans Acrylic Artist. I was born in New Hampshire, and for the past 33 years I have lived in greater New Orleans. I've made it my passion to be innovative and devoted to Southern Impressionism. With only high school art classes and thousands of hours of reading and studying and a lifetime of painting, I have developed a distinctive style of acrylic painting blending soft figures of realism with a gentle touch of classic impressionism. I believe that painting is storytelling and each of my paintings is a dialogue and an introduction to bond themselves to the viewer. Each painting is my attempt to show the viewer the beauty that arose in that one stirring moment: a horse running, a boxer practicing, a woman working out, a pet cuddling, a mother and child embracing, the sun touching a Louisiana skyline.
My paintings play with light and form and pastel colors in a playful and hopefully an extremely personal way.
