Blanton Seward
Art has always been a great love of mine. Illustration, sketching and
painting have profoundly affected my work.
I am Virginian born and bred and my family has deep roots here.
Never far from the James River, a primary source of inspiration for
my work. I love to portray the restitution of its indigenous wildlife on
canvas.
It is my belief that sketching and painting the river this way affects the
way it is perceived and treated. That being said, 60% of my works are
of subjects other than the James, and portraiture is an important part
of these.
I worked in varying forms of art and graphics my entire professional
life. A total of 37 years as graphic artist, 20 as freelance. During this
time I produced layouts, designs, illustrations and even did some copy
writing (both digitally and hands-on) for commercial advertising.
In 2005 (at long last) I retired to full-time painting and have won
several prizes in local competitions. Two, third places in Crossroads
Art Center and a Second Place at Art Works.
You can email me.

"My life in art has been
one of long waiting for
a time when I could
devote myself to
sketching and painting
the things I love. The
wait is over and the
time has come. I am a
natural born artist,
and now I have the
chance to explore that
part of myself."
