CHARLES LOUNSBERRY, ARTIST

Thank you for your interest in my art of Ocean City, NJ and to everyone who has collected my prints and paintings over the years.

I started painting Ocean City scenes in 1980. My very first painting,
a watercolor of “Dot’s Bakery,” (still in business and is located at 31st Street and Asbury Avenue) which sold as soon as the painting was hung on the wall at Accent Gallery! I have been painting images of Ocean City ever since. In addition to images of Ocean City, some of my most popular prints have been of the great old bars in Somers Point, including Bay Shores, Tony Marts, the Anchorage, Dunes til Dawn and the wonderful Point Diner. I also paint images of Longport, Margate, Ventnor, Atlantic City and of course Cape May.

Many of icons and favorite haunts of Ocean City that I have painted over the years are no longer around including Hogates, Voltaco’s, Flanders Grill, Richard’s on North Street, Robert’s Ice Cream, Village Theatre, Bay Shores, Tony Marts, Dunes… to name a few.

I have drawn and painted most of my life. I was awarded the NJ State
Fellowship in Design, and I am a published illustrator and merchandise designer. I paint in watercolor, acrylic, and oil.

Would you like a custom painting of your favorite Ocean City memory?

I also paint custom commissioned paintings. So, if you have a favorite photograph of Ocean City, or perhaps I do, that you would like to have recreated as a painting contact me at studio@oceancitynjart.com or call me 407 489 6885 in the studio and we can discuss the details.
