Monty
Whitfield, a New England acrylic
artist, is a resident of Nashua, New Hampshire.
Monty blends elements from the natural
and ancient worlds.
The
Lowell Sun writes, "...Monty Whitfield's
vivid nature paintings are created to
slow a fast-paced planet and for one
instant, allow the viewer to reunite with
the grandeur of the natural world.' "
The
Telegraph writes, "Monty studied
at the Durer School of Art in Manila,
Philippines. Whitfield's paintings are
vibrant, colorful...and has a story behind
them."
Accordingly,
New Hampshire's state newspaper, The Union
Leader writes, "...Whitfield's style
is impressionistic realism. His paintings
mix impressionistic backgrounds with realistic
foregrounds..." and his instinctual
brushstrokes lend an original look to
his landscapes and oceanscapes.
His
painting style is highly influenced by
Henri Martin, Albrecht Durer and Ancient
Art.
As
an artist, he is affiliated with
the Sharon's Art Center, Manchester Artists' Association (MAA),
the Nashua Area Artists' Association (NAAA)

Afterward:
"With a writer and painter as a mom and a father who was a graphic and fine artist, Whitfield's childhood memories are sprinkled liberally with books and art....
He recalls a time at about age 11 when his father would lay out canvases, brushes and paint for the family and encourage everyone to paint the same subject-a tree, for example.
"Suddenly, he threw some salt on my tree and said, "Now look at that.' The effect was amazing as the salt drew in the paint and left white channels," Whitfield said.
