Callaway’s paintings are characterized by bold  brush strokes, bright color harmonies and distinctive contrasts of light and  shadow.

He is particularly influenced by contemporary  Russian Masters for their bright tonal color harmonies and bold brush  techniques.

...his paintings are not always about actual  things or places. Rather they attempt to capture the essence of a subject as one  would hope it to exist.

His renderings of landscape, floral and still-life subjects, whether en plein  air or studio works, often consist of compositions reflection places or subjects  from memory or pure imagination
