The Artwork of Greg Slade

I met an artist last night at a networking event. His name is Greg Slade, a DC native, who was showcasing his work. It was such a pleasure to speak with him and exchange interests, among which was an appreciation of literary classics. However, the highlight of my evening was viewing his artwork. I hate to sound cliche, but the pieces I saw were unlike other artwork I've seen. His use of bold, vibrant color and detail; the emotion each piece exuded; the way he captures eyes....it was like watching a part of a fantasy; a spiritual journey; a dream.

I made this post to give Greg a shout out and to show my appreciation. I so admire creative spirits....whether they express themselves through pen and paper, the perfect combination of musical notes, molding and sculpting, or through strokes on canvass. I love beauty. I love to ponder. And I love to see and hear things that send me on a journey.

Here is Greg's website: The Artwork of Greg Slade. Check out his work. Show him some love on his guestbook. And most importantly, if you see something you like, I'm sure he'd appreciate your purchase or commission request.

All the best, everyone. I'll be back soon.

  1. Vibrant art, the type of imagery you experience in dreames. My top three paintings: "Fisher", "Keepers of Callilillies", and "Tea Lounge"

  2. "Fisher" is one of my favorites as well. He's a very talented artist and I wish him well on his journey.
