Sunrays and Sonata by William Allister Sunrays  is a sensuous delight; it achieves tension by contrasting the brilliant colour of the glowing petals with the darker undergrowth that surrounds the flowers and then augments that with the forceful diagonals of the rays of the sun. This one will glow on your wall....more William Allister paintings
	The Restless Sea by Bob Barnes This wonderful seascape has delightful textures created by a palette knife.     Simple Life by Lloyd Barnes Racoons are one of the Barnes brothers favorite subjects and they often depict them humourously.  This one is footloose and fancy free.    Look At Me by Lloyd Barnes Charisma Gallery is proud to introduce the original art of the Barnes brothers. Lloyd Barnes, and his identical twin Bob, are wildlife artists living in the Caribou region of B.C.  They are self-taught and phenomenally gifted: neither brother needs reference material to create; they can complete pictures straight from memory... see more paintings by Barnes

Since emigrating to Canada she has studied many different styles of art. Glass and plexiglass paintings have been her focus for the last 2 years. We are honored to represent her art and also to have her as a member of Charisma Gallery staff...more art by Hong Zhu
	Strolling in Paris by Kal Gajoum Kal Gajoum spent many years in Paris and London studying but now lives and works in Vancouver. His subjects are often the Parisian streets that he once walked and his originals are distinguished by the bold play of a palette knife.  We are pleased to be showing this enhanced print called Strolling in Paris.
