"My paintings are all about light. I look for the decisive instant when the drama inherent in quiet moments can be glimpsed." - Gary Akers

View Original Egg Tempera, Watercolor, and Drybrush Paintings, by one of America's foremost contemporary realists.

"Gary Akers - A True American Realist; Whether he is painting in dry brush, egg tempera, or watercolor he applies it with the "Hand of a Master."  With his gentle brush strokes he invites you to a world we all long for; the cool ocean breeze, the ray of light setting on a window box of flowers or the lighthouse standing proudly on the waters edge.  He flawlessly captures light and shadows in his subjects, which is preserved for all to absorb and appreciate. Gary Akers work encompasses contemporary realism at its best."
