Frank Ellis the Artist ~ a.k.a. Frankie James

I was born January 1963 in the great city of Washington DC and grew up in Southern Maryland.  My Mom, four sisters, two brothers and I all shared a     
  small two bedroom house not far from the city line. It was a good world for me and I was inspired so much by the beauty of my own back yard.

Since my 1st Grade report card said so it is clear I wanted to paint. During high school I was fortunate enough to have a great instructor, Dr. Carol                  
Thompson. She sparked a fire inside me and taught me about color and light, how to ask questions, and how to wonder. She introduced me to the             
  great  ones.  Monet, my favorite, is among them. He did what I want to do. His paintings are so alive you can walk right into the impressions of his world.

Always my studios have been small, usually just a corner in my bedroom. With such limited space, most often I work from my own photos. Here is nearly all     
  of my collection for you to enjoy. The way I see it, I have another forty good years of painting in me.

I have just recently started to date my work with both the month and year. I will see how long this inspired streak lasts.

Watch me grow!

Thoughts on my work:
I have always been an Artist and have painted most of my life, yet without a doubt I have so much to learn. The
world is full of moments and it is the artist among us who is required to stop time for all to see. It is my calling. I
become more aware with time and my brush strokes are changing.

My vision has been inspired by the great impressionists:
Monet,Van Gogh, and Cezanne. I like the world in soft focus.

My Uncle once told me, when he was a young artist,
they would ask, "Does your work have something to say?"   

I'm not sure, yet...
