Original Art Paintings artist Edward Longo makes another debut

Behind that descriptive lies a genuine appreciation for pastel thinking, especially as it relates to a verdant countryside. Early life on the East Coast brought him in contact with elongated shorelines. The artist was drawn to the ocean much in the manner expressed by England’s laureate, John Masefield, who wrote the immortal lines, "I must go down to the sea again, to the lonely sea and the sky."
. . . . Many voyages ensued, courtesy of the U.S. Naval Air Corps. So, brine rolling foam, lusty breezes and ocean swells became ingrained within the confines of a sensitive soul. Establishing himself in New York City, he took a serious approach to creative painting. Longo’s fulfillment came in expressing himself. Exhibitions followed -- the public was responsive, the art critics complimentary.
. . . . Galleries & the walls of prominent restaurants have given the developing “Longo legend” good exposure. Although his artistic bent has encompassed music, psychology, acting & writing, it is painting that has given him a sense of even greater gratification. His originality begins the moment he becomes one-on-one with the canvas. Brush or knife in hand, he is able to express, through God-given ingenuity, experiences that have been an integral part of the artist for decades.
. . . . Edward Longo is not a product of traditional training. He is a gratified man because his strokes carry with them excitement, surprise and freedom of expression, as well. I would describe him as being the son of an ethereal marriage of spirit and inspiration.
