Edward Aldrich

|
Edward Aldrich's best paintings are based on animals he has seen in the wild.
Edward Aldrich does paintings directly from those photographs - Edward Aldrich wants to keep the feeling
of the scene he saw.
Edward Aldrich creates his oil paintings on masonite in a big
open studio which is part of his home in a western suburb of Denver.
Several layers of glazing convey texture and gives the colors a brilliant depth.
Rocks are a passion of Edward Aldrich. I just love rocks. They have as much character as any animal.
They are a wonderful complement to animals. Reproducing the intricacies of various
textures was a challenge that Aldrich feels he has accomplished. Portraits are Edward Aldrich’s
favorites because they focus the viewer’s attention and allow the artist to bring out
the character of the animal.
Much of Edward Aldrich process has involved determination and
experimentation, though he learned some of the techniques at the Rhode Island School
of Design (1983-87), attended Master Classes with Robert Bateman in British Columbia
and has been to Africa several times to see the big cats in their element.
Edward Aldrich goal as an artist is to keep exploring the idea of putting life into my paintings.
For Edward Aldrich the future is bright and holds the promise of great things
to come from this Colorado artist.
