Charles Griffith's oil and acrylic paintings represent a contemporary interpretation of traditional realism, often with a touch of the surreal and the macabre added for flavor. His work reflects his love of the Old Masters, and his subject matter ranges from the conventional to the unorthodox. His work has been featured in books, newspapers and calendars.

"In my work I try to convey a sense of mystery and drama, a strong visual impression that can make such an emotional impact on the viewer that they come back again and again to that image. Whether the subject matter is realistic or abstract, still life or portraiture, it must grab the viewer's attention and keep it there, if it is to succeed as a work of art."
