"Ridge Road Lake" 20x24 Oil on Canvas

Chuck Marshall (Charles W. Marshall Jr.) was born in Wilmington, Ohio in 1957. He is one of seven children raised in a small, three bedroom house. Their father purchased the home, which was once a place where furs were bought and sold. Growing up around farms and learning to appreciate rural life helped mold Chuck's love for nature and life which still exists and is evident in his work even today.

Chuck lives and works in Warren County, Ohio. He is known mostly for his landscapes. Most of the time Chuck can be found outside painting "en pleine air" in the surrounding countryside.  En pleine air translates from French to English as in the open air, and describes painting outdoors from life, rather than studio painting.  Lately his artistic goals have changed some. He is now exploring and experimenting more with abstract shapes, line, form, texture and so on. He feels the artistic statement is more important that the subject.

Chuck attended one year at the Cincinnati Art Academy before moving to southern California, where he studied at the California Art Institute. While living out west, he studied with various artist that worked in the Southwest style and the Plein Air style. Chuck considers himself a Plein Air Impressionist. He is now one of Ohio's leading plein air painters.

Chuck is influenced by various artists including Edgar Payne, Guy Rose, Maynard Dixon, John Singer Sargent, Kevin MacPherson, and many more
