Chris Hartsfield

Chris Hartsfield is a self-trained artist, and has been painting and selling his work since 1988. He began his career as a watercolorist. Chris has created over 2,000 realism paintings that include street scenes, nautical themes, landscapes, and recently his focus is on still life.  His watercolor technique produces a complicated yet detailed scene which reveals an understanding of depth and realism. 

In 2015 he crated a body of work, some 450 original paintings on canvas, using acrylic and India ink. A complete break from the realism genre, these images utilized flat planes of color, line, and collage.  These images challenge the viewer to engage differently than his realism paintings do. 

I early 2018 Chris’s work began morphing again, using acrylic paint on canvas, by creating colorful images in the “Representative” style; Landscapes, and nautical themes are the focus. 

Since 1988 he has had paintings accepted in national and regional competitions. His paintings are bought by both private and corporate collectors.
