Winners - 2023 Plein Air Festival "Quick Draw"!

Jeff Charlesworth's art work in oils, cold wax and mixed media reflect new ways of looking, new media and evolv-ing ways of expression. While his art subjects may recall his earlier work, their expression may be more suggestive, looser, and more abstract in form. He finds much inspira-tion in the local landscapes and gardens of the Delaware Valley. His media include oil paints, the drawn line, and cold wax on canvas, paper, and wood panels. 

Jeff's art work has been on show at the on-going exhibition with the Painters Collective at the Linseed Mill in at Pralls-ville Mill, in Stockton, NJ. In the past, his work has been shown at Phillips Mill in New Hope, Stover Mill, the Tradi-tional Artists Show in Doylestown / Bucks County, The Ellarsie Open in Trenton, the Philadelphia Sketch Club and Callaway Henderson Sotheby's in Lambertville.
