Henry Stinson has the master's touch in both drawing and painting. His work reflects the old masters that he studied incessantly. His oils show the influence of Russian Impressionism, but with Henry's trademark approach. A bit quirky and more modern, his subjects include heating oil tanks, VW starters, and Martians. His focus and true love is the human figure, however, which he conveys with incredibly graceful and painterly brushstrokes. His drafting skills are superb.
Henry Stinson of Pullman paints boldly-colored and often humorous images of appliances, toys and female figures. Stinson's formal training began at Washington State University where he received his undergraduate degree in Fine Arts and then continued his education at the Art Institute of Seattle. He also studied with Ron Lucas, who was a student of Sergei Bongart. He has taught drawing and painting for the past 18 years in numerous colleges, privately owned schools and national workshops and has exhibited his work all over the U.S. as well as in the United States Embassy in Geneva, Switzerland.
