Dmitri Vail was well known in Dallas, Texas as the artist who painted Hollywood celebrities, noted politicans and people he liked. After he completed his paintings of people he would put on a elaborate party and invited everyone to attend. Spent many lunches at the Holiday Inn on Central Expressway dining at his special table that was always reserved. I was just one of many who had the honor and one of few who wanted charcoal drawing. You won't find much about this artist on the web. Dmitri Vail's oil and crisp sharp charcoal sketches "not for sale".

To be painted

In charcoal I am able to do
things that I have found a totally
different mediam of art.

Dmitri Vail School of Art was located at the European
Crossroads 2829 West N.W. Hwy. Dallas, Texas in the
70's/80's. I was impressed with the unique way he had of
directing your technique and keeping it your own while he
helped you improve it. He believed that each artist should
pursue his own inspiration
