"In an honest manner with not much more than a handful of piles of paint, I try to represent the physical character of the natural world, and yet not neglect to bring out the real but often indefinable connections I have with her. Deep within me there is a still, quiet place that resonates and flows with the spirit of life to all of these places here represented; for me a calm amidst the storm. Through this unfolding of my soul I paint as my own unique leap towards the divine. With brush in hand in gratitude and curiosity I search for understanding, for meaning, for joy, for strength, for peace of mind, and for goodness for all—the light within."

what collectors say
"Dear Gregory,
I just emailed Nelson from Greenhouse Gallery. Your painting was delivered on Saturday and I am so thrilled to have it hanging on our dining room wall. Simple Joys was so much more beautiful than I had imagined - the website showed quite well and from the website I found it attractive enough to purchase. However, when I received it I could'nt stop staring at it. The colors were so rich and vibrant and your paint strokes were so wonderfully thick and luscious. The painting actually vibrates and I feel as though I am standing in front of the actual flowers you painted. I love it! Thank you and I must admit Simply Joys is simply wonderful. Ramona Dooley"
"Joy Unspeakable
Seeing works by Gregory Packard is surely a joy to my eyes. These paintings don't bore you with unnessary details and truly say what is necessary .Blessings to you. Beatrix Haggard"
"Your works grab me. I just connect with them. In an instant, they capture me, without my having even the nanno chance of thinking. It is instantaneous. In a millesecond. Moving all around the surface. Full of vitality. Motion. Thank you. I thought Art Collector had gone completely to the realist side. It was pure joy to see your vase of flowers with the shadows, the the falls between the rocks. You have your own style. Unique. Alive. While I like a lot of painters who do traditional and classic landscape oils.. Yours stand out. Very inspiring for me. Jack D"
