Artist’s Statement
Watercolor has always been my favorite painting medium. I love the fresh, spontaneous look of a well done watercolor…qualities that can easily get lost by overworking the painting. The magic of the medium is the infinite number of ways varying amounts of water and pigment applied to dry, damp or wet watercolor paper can respond. Sometimes just the way you want it to. Other times beyond my expectations in a delightful way. And, to be honest, sometimes it’s ooops! There goes another sheet of watercolor paper.
Yes, watercolor is a wild medium. My challenge is to tame it…let it un-tame me…and meet at some happy place in between.
