ARTIST STATEMENT
Watercolor is my chosen medium because it offers me the ability to express translucent light and sparkling shadows like nothing else I have tried. Watercolor is like magic for creating the feeling of light!
Signature Member of Transparent Watercolor Society of America
Visit Watercolor Mania my personal blog for updates on what I am doing in everyday life as well as art. There you will also find several step by step paintings. I am hoping somehow it can become a forum to answer your questions and set up a dialog with other artists who love watercolor!
You may purchase a signed copy of my book,"A Celebration of Light" for $30 by purchasing it here.
"Pears On Movil" is part of my pear series. This one is on my dock with Movil Lake in the background. I wanted to try something different and so have combined my still life with a little landscape and I like the results I achieved with this one!
"Monday's Wash" contains articles that are important to me. Old clothespins like my mother had, a handblown Italian piece of glass that my husband kept candy in as a child, ribbons from my daughters hair when she was little and a seashell napkin holder from my daughters wedding.
This painting has just been juried into the 2010 Transparent Watercolor Society of America's exhibition.
"Party Pear" is a painting I did about my dear friend Margo who passed away in December. She celebrated every day as a special day and brought joy to everyone she met. I know she would laugh at this one and love it! More importantly I hope then to pass the joy of this painting on to others so that I continue Margo's work.
"Milk Glass and Cherries" showcases a very old glass that my husband has drank out of since he was a child. It is amazing how it has held up along with 5 others! It was fun to catch the reflection of the tablecloth in the cherries and to document another old tablecloth.
"A Pearfect Day" is another in the series of pears that I have been working on this winter and spring. I am trying something new by adding a landscape or something different for the background and like how this gives the feeling of ocean to the painting. Hope you like it too!
