Charles Burdick Portrait Paintings
American, 1924-2016
Charles Edward Burdick (1924 - 2016) was born in Providence, RI, Charles Burdick first won a scholarship at the age of 9 to attend a class at the Rhode Island School of Design. Following service in WWII, he returned to RISD, but transferred after a year to Art Students League in New York. His instructors included Reginald Marsh, Will Barnett and Edwin Dickinson. In the 1960s, he began to summer in Provincetown, MA.
In 1966, he moved to Wellfleet on Cape Cod, and established his studio there. He supported his family of five by selling his artwork from his studio and in juried, largely outdoor shows around the country. Since 1976, he has wintered on the east coast of Florida and shown at shows there. He has won numerous awards over the years, but he eschewed working with a gallery and did little publicity, preferring to sell his painting directly to the collector. Recently, his daughter established a gallery to display his art in a more formal setting.
Animals have always been a favorite subject since the 1950s, particularly horses and bulls. In the 1980s he produced a series of Peaceable Kingdoms and Noah's Ark paintings as well as circus paintings. Late in the 1980s, he did a medieval series based on the Unicorn. Most recently, he has been painting playful, imaginary paintings of famous artists working in their studios, often using the palette and stylistic references of the subject.to

Biography
Coreen Mary Spellman (1905 - 1978)
Coreen Mary Spellman was a fine-art
teacher as well as a painter, designer, illustrator, lithographer and
muralist. Many of her paintings depicted human-made structures and
industrial landscapes in a style combining realism, precisionism and
abstraction. Often the central subject such as in "Railroad Signal" was
the only suggestion of humanity against a backdrop of stark Texas
landscape.
Of her painting these isolated subjects she said: "I
enjoy taking some rather obscure or unimportant subject or theme and
making something fine and important out of it . . . It always gives me
great pleasure to discover something which has been passed over as being
inadequate material". (Trenton 199)
Spellman was born in Forney,
Texas in 1905. At an early age she moved to Dallas, Texas and studied
under Vivian Aunspaugh before attending the College of Industrial Arts
(Texas Woman's University). She received a Master of Arts degree from
Columbia University and a Masters Degree from the University of Iowa,
Iowa City in 1942.
In addition, Spellman received a Carnegie
Scholarship for study at Harvard University, followed by studies with
Kenneth Hayes Miller, Vaclav Vytlacil, and Charles Wheeler...
