There have been many fine artists over the years with the ability to pick up a paintbrush and create a work of art that looks like a photograph. Chuck Staley, on the other hand, takes a photograph and turns it into art that resembles a painting. Other artists call his work painterly.Working on a computer, using pixels instead of paints, he painstakingly chooses and matches colors as thoughtfully as any artist painting on canvas. Staley says, “Somewhere along the way I quit caring about whether the pictures I took accurately depicted a person or object, but found myself caught up in the attempt to reach the emotions of the viewer.”
