Print by Howard Eberle

14.25 x 18.5"

A self-taught artist, Eberle has been painting in transparent watercolor since 1973.  He started painting professionally in 1990 after a career in retail display where he learned composition, design, and color.  These elements have had a major influence on Eberle’s style which he describes as “abstract realism.”  He eliminates details to get to the essence of the subject matter, incorporates strong shadows into his paintings and often juxtaposes a finely detailed subject on an abstract background.
