The Work of Edward M. Compton
Since I first started painting back in the early 50's, and after studying
art and drawing
in Italy during the 60's, my major goal has been to create a pleasurable
sensory experience
for the viewer as well as for myself through art. To me, the greatest
complement of my art
work is for someone to say they enjoy looking at my paintings and drawings
and recognize
what I have intended to accomplish.
The following are samples of Mr. Compton's current work in oil and ink.
Each work has the name of the work, date it was created, medium, size
and price.
