Charles Warren Mundy Paintings

American, b. 1945

Charles Warren Mundy worked for 22 years as a sports illustrator, and in the late 1980s, became a full-time painter of landscapes, still life and figurative works. Among the artists, he credits as inspiring to him are John Singer Sargent, Edgar Payne and Guy Rose. He grew up and continues to live in Indianapolis, Indiana, where he was raised as a member of the Evangelical United Brethren Church and won a college basketball scholarship, eventually graduating from Ball State University in Muncie. Full of energy, Mundy developed a plan that combined his interest in art with sports and created photo-realistic depictions of sports figures. In the early 1980s, he became the official illustrator for Bob Knight, legendary basketball coach at Indiana University, and he also had contracts for illustration with the Pro Golfers Association, the United States Golf Association, and the National Basketball Association. From those years, his artwork is in many collections, including the Indianapolis 500 Museum. However, he tired of this activity, finding it to be formula painting and less-than-challenging because it lacked spirit. So in 1994, Mundy enrolled in workshops taught by established artists such as Scott Christensen and Dan Gerhartz, and their encouragement and examples freed his creativity, especially for plein air painting. After several of these workshops, he and his wife Rebecca went to France, and since then, they have traveled extensively, including to East Coast locations such as Gloucester and Rockport as well as back to Europe.

In 1998, the couple went to the Rocky Mountains to "recharge his battery" and get distant, panoramic views. Many of Mundy's previous works had been small — six to eight inches — but here he did larger canvases, some of them with dimensions of four feet or bigger. In 2003, CW Mundy earned the status of Master Signature Member from the Oil Painters of America. In 2005, Mundy earned the Award of Excellence for Master Signature Members at the 14th Annual Oil Painters of America National Show.

Fine Impressionist American School Oil on Canvas; Family Picnic or Outing, 1925

Located in Baltimore, MD

This lovely impressionist painting portrays what appears to be a family outing or picnic. There are many beautifully dressed women with their children in a park setting. Oddly, what appears to be missing are men, or their husbands. Perhaps it’s a women’s organization that included their young children. The scene must depict late spring or summer, given the foliage and their beautiful dresses. The colors are bright and cheerful and the late impressionist style is clearly evident. The artist appears to have signed the painting lower left, but it is very difficult to completely decipher. The date, 1925, seems to be clearer. All in all, this work is a one-of-a-kind period painting that will enhance any sophisticated room or setting. The frame is a soft lemon gold period cove frame that may be just a bit older than the work by about 10 years. This work has been recently professionally repaired, cleaned and varnished. Both the painting and the frame are in very good condition. There are a few professional repairs to the canvas, only visible from the patches shown on the backside. The frame has a few minor blemishes here and there, expected with its age. The canvas measures 18” x 22” and the overall framed dimensions are 24 1/2” x 28 1/2”. Visible on the reverse side is a vintage label that reads “Art...
