I recently attended an art fair at the Bruce Museum in Greenwich, CT, where I stumbled upon two wonderful artists: Gary and Luke Stretar. While these two artists share some similarities in style, they each have their own perspective and focus. Both are from Ohio, a place that seems to figure largely in their work.
Gary Stretar’s landscapes struck me with their mood and rich colors. These large, warm oil paintings with clean lines and sparkling realism draw the eye again and again. Conservative enough to fit the most classic decor yet intriguing enough to appeal to more modern tastes, Gary Stretar’s paintings can’t be done justice on a computer screen. To contact Gary about his work visit here.
Luke Stretar also takes a realism approach to his oil paintings. His work features subjects not commonly thought of as beautiful. Under his brush, however, beauty is revealed. His current work focuses on metal and industrial objects. For more information about Luke’s paintings, contact him.
