Rigley, Frederick W. (1914-2009)
\"Whenever possible, I like to paint on location. Working directly from nature is how I get my greatest inspiration.\"
Frederick W. Rigley, artist and teacher, began his career as a teenager. Since then his life-long profession has been painting. Working in oil, watercolor, and acrylic, he is best known for his landscapes and seascapes, which he paints on the East Coast, in the South, and in Brown County, Indiana, where he makes his home and maintains a studio.Rigley studied at the Art Students\' League, New York and the Ringling School of Art, Sarasota, where he majored in sculpture. He also studied with private instructors including Adrian Pillars and Enrique Elferez, Emile A. Gruppe, Hilton Leech, John F. Carlson, Floyd Hopper and George Bridgman.In addition to teaching landscape painting with the Indianapolis Art League for 25 years, Mr. Rigley held private classes in Brown County and gives workshops in the South and Midwest. He has had many one-man shows in different parts of the United States.He is a member of the Hoosier Salon; Brown County Art Guild; Indiana Artist Club ; Eastern Shore Art Association, Fairhope, Alabama; Naples Art Association; Indiana Heritage; and a former member of the North Short Arts Association and the Sarasota Art Association.
His philosophy: \"My preference is to paint in such a way that the viewer senses that the artist, through the use of color, composition, tonal value, etc., has produced a painting with feeling. It is my desire that my paintings come closer to a dream or thought than a photographic reproduction.\"
Painting is an oil on canvas; size is 25\" x 30,\" plus frame. Very good condition.
