ORIGINAL OIL PAINTINGS BY HOWARD FRIEDMAN
HOWARD HAS ALWAYS HAD A DEEP LOVE FOR NATURE. HE PAINTS EXCLUSIVELY IN OIL WITH A PALETTE KNIFE AND APPLIES MANY LAYERS STRESSING HIS LOVE OF COLOR. IN THIS MANNER HIS PAINTINGS HAVE A DEEP TEXTURE WHICH GIVES THE PAINTINGS A THREE DIMENSIONAL APPEARANCE. THE PAINTINGS ARE NOT DONE IN A MANNER STRIVING FOR REALISM BUT PROVIDE AN ARTISTIC RENDITION OF THE SUBJECT MATTER. HOWARD HAS BEEN PAINTING SERIOUSLY FOR TWELVE YEARS, HAS RECEIVED SEVERAL AWARDS AND HAS SHOWN HIS WORK IN SEVERAL SHOWS LOCALLY.
HE WAS PREVIOUSLY AN ELECTRONICS ENGINEER AT A MEDICAL FIRM WHERE HE DEVELOPED A PATENT AND THEN WENT TO WORK AT THE JET PROPULSION LAB AS A ENGINEER AND MANAGER ON THE U.S. SPACE PROGRAM. HE THEN MOVED TO RENO AND OWNED AND OPERATED TWO FLORIST SHOPS. HE STARTED PAINTING IN EARNEST AFTER HE RETIRED.
