Oil Pastels and Paintings

Edward Brummal has been a resident of Montgomery for over thirty years. He and his wife Kay have three sons, Wilson, Mason & Marion IV. He is a principal in the architectural firm of Parsons Wible Brummal Alkire in Montgomery and holds a Bachelor of Architecture Degree from Auburn University.

A member of SAC’s Gallery since 2004, Ed specializes in oil pastels. His subjects are primarily landscapes and still life.

Ed’s Artist’s Statement: “ The oil pastel medium is a versatile one but not very widely known, combining the ease of application of pastel with the vibrancy of oils. The freedom of the medium comes from not allowing too much precision. The focus is on the overall impression of light without too much detail. He says oil pastel is a great medium because it allows a work to be completed in only one or two sessions. With a busy schedule, projects that stretch out too long often don’t get finished. He says the oil pastel work is great for the “Sunday painter.”

Don’t be fooled by Ed’s inference that he is a “Sunday Painter.” You will find his work some of the finest and most detailed of just about any pastel artist in the region. You won’t be sorry you came to view his work.
