As a child, award-winning artist Joseph C. Henderson liked to paint. But Henderson – the Galveston Art League’s Featured Artist for August – didn’t start painting seriously until moving to Galveston about five years ago. For three decades before that, Henderson, now 63, was a registered architect — which could explain why he likes to include famous city landmarks in his paintings. He also enjoys painting beaches and boats.
Henderson’s passion for art began when he was in middle school, with the youngster often painting in his family’s Indianapolis basement. Family, friends, and a very strong art faculty in high school were highly supportive.
He began painting with watercolors but now works in acrylic on panel or canvas. Henderson says his painting process is typical: He begins with an underpainting layer of burnt sienna and then he sketches the subject while working from photographs. He develops the scene with additional darker tones, eventually adding color and adjusting colors as the painting develops.
Henderson believes artists should keep their minds open: “Explore new styles, subject matter, and media. Embrace the unexpected when you work. An unintended effect might completely alter the piece you are working on, often with great results.”
He has won several awards in Galveston Art League juried competitions, including McGivney Purchase Awards in 2017 and 2018. (Those paintings are now part of the Rosenberg Library’s permanent art collection.)

- Children’s Art Classes ARE BACK!!!!
- Brand New Location
- Brand New BIGGER Classroom
- Teacher: Samitha Edwards, BFA Fine Arts and Art History, Teaching Certification in Art
This is NOT your average kid class….adults enjoy it too and learn something new each time they come
HERE, your children will be learning Art History, Technique, and Elements & Principles of Art from A-Z!
The first 30 minutes of class will be the Art History portion, where your children will get to know all the Masters, as well as the contemporary. We will be going from Primitive Cave art all the way to Andy Warhol.
Your children will leave here with new knowledge of the arts, printed handouts of the day’s lessons, and a completed piece of artwork.
We will go through ALL mediums, some will messier than others, and some will leave permanent stains. I will supply smocks for everyone, but be sure to drop off your kids with play clothes you don’t mind getting dirty, just in case
Classes will be every Friday, 4-7pm, which gives parents a perfect opportunity to take advantage of the shops and restaurants right next door to the gallery :)
Pre-registration is preferred, but we also take walk-ins.
