Biography
Many years ago I have dabbled in other art mediums. My career was in another type of art, constructing walk around characters for a couple of theme parks. Raising children and working drew me away from painting (other than walls). Several years ago I decided to give watercolor painting a try. I always wanted to, but heard that it was so difficult and took years of schooling. It is different from the other mediums in that it sometimes has a mind of its own. Sometimes I think I have made a terrible mistake in a picture since the water can cause the paint to run all over. Self made wash or OOPS start over! I am a self taught artist and love watercolor painting. I have been in a number of art shows locally and juried shows at the art center. I have found in selling paintings that customers prefer to purchase the painting without being drymounted or matted. This way they can pick out how they want it to look in their own decor rather than paying extra for something which doesn't match what they have or the size not correct.

Style Impressionism

An art movement founded in France in the last third of the 19th century. Impressionist artists sought to break up light into its component colors and render its ephemeral play on various objects. The artist's vision was intensely centered on light and the ways it transforms the visible world. This style of painting is characterized by short brush strokes of bright colors used to recreate visual impressions of the subject and to capture the light, climate and atmosphere of the subject at a specific moment in time. The chosen colors represent light which is broken down into its spectrum components and recombined by the eyes into another color when viewed at a distance (an optical mixture). The term was first used in 1874 by a journalist ridiculing a landscape by Monet called Impression - Sunrise.
