He worked with Paul Ingbretson in Boston for five years and with Charles Cecil in Florence, Italy for one. Both of these painters and teachers studied under Ives Gammell (1893-1981) who was instrumental in keeping the traditional "Atelier" style training alive. Wingate has now been a professional artist for ten years primarily painting commissioned portraits but also doing figurative works, still lifes, and landscapes, all in oil. www.henrywingate.com
