Richardson received more than local recognition in an article published in the Tidewater Arts Review published by the Norfolk Virginia Museum of Arts and Science in 1939.  The artle spoke of Charles Richardson as painting with an honesty and integrity which would put many an art center to shame.  There is nothing pretentious about his work; his style has a sparkle and a brilliance that is entirely its own.  his medium is oil and the predominant influence is plainly Impressionism...  In 1932 Charles Richardson was named Professor of Art at Ouachita Baptist College to reinstitute the Art Department there, following the suspension of art programs at both Ouachita and Henderson during the Depression.  In 1935-936 he taught art classes for the WPA Adult Education Program.
