Young Loblolly Pine

By Charles Sandor, M.D.

Impressionistic image of a small pine tree amongst mountain rocks.

“Many have asked me where my talent for art comes from. I always say the Lord and my mother who is a gifted artist. At a young age I would watch her paint and she would always teach me various techniques and give me art books to study style, composition, color, inspiration.

Over the years I found myself gravitating towards portraiture and landscape painting. Capturing the beauty and essence of nature and people was the highest compliment one could achieve. I’m naturally inclined towards the shadow and earthly tones, which my mother would tease me about saying that I find any reason to put dark colors into a painting. Contrast adds depth and richness. She can mix incredibly vibrant colors and I still ask her for her advice when I need to mix a bright color.”

Dr. Charles Sandor is a graduate of the UAMS Little Rock Family Medicine residency program.
