Howard Eberle BiographyPennsylvania artist Howard Eberle is an accomplished watercolorist and signature member of the prestigious American Watercolor Society. He is also a signature member of the Pennsylvania Watercolor Society and the National Watercolor Society. Eberle's paintings are in the collections of the State Museum of Pennsylvania as well as numerous private and corporate collections. 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. Howard chooses everyday objects for his subjects: an intriguing weathervane, a forgotten rocker, a weathered rowboat...simple subjects of the rural countryside of Pennsylvania and the Atlantic Shore find their way into this talented artist’s work. In his paintings the subject matter is simple and direct. Strong shadows, varied textures with graphic compositions demonstrate Howard’s clear sense of drama and detail. His fascination with light captivates and touches the viewer’s emotions. "The strongest part of my work is the composition and use of negative space using strong shadows or sunlight." |
