Hello everyone, Harold Powell here, Harry to many of you. I am a Artist, Illustrator and Wed Designer working and living in Orlando, Florida. I have been creating art since I was in the third grade. I was also fortunate enough to have had two great art teachers in my life: Mrs. Funfrock who taught me how to create a single color from many colors, and Mrs. Pittman who challenged me to work outside my comfort zone. Because of their tutelage I have developed a taste for painting different subject matters in various styles. When I am not creating art I am usually hanging out with family and friends, traveling or researching my family's history and genealogy.

    All of my paintings are hand-painted using high quality acrylic paints on either stretch canvas, canvas board, masonite or wood. I enjoy painting images which appeal to my quirky nature, be they scientific or sci-fi, landscapes or seascapes, as well as geometric designs and abstracts. I love working in vivid colors to give my paintings dramatic affect, and using symbolism, candidly or covertly, to help give my work multiple meanings. My paintings can be seen in art shows and galleries around Orlando throughout the year. I also create commissioned Art pieces, illustrations and logo designs.

   At present, I am the President of the Orlando Art Collective, which meets on the second Thursday of each month at Sam Flax in Orlando Florida. We are a not-for-profit organization dedicated to bringing artists together to learn, teach and share ideas. 

   You can also find me on my Facebook Art Page. Don't forget to add my "Art Page" to your "Facebook Interest list" so you can get updates and see my latest paintings as soon as post them. Thank you to everyone who has support me and my work, Please know that it is greatly appreciated. www.hcpowell.com
