a story of painting...
there
are many things i love, but i adore food and
travel. many important events in my life involve
food... birthday cakes at the family home, 4th of
July barbeques in the park. the memories from a
trip or a meal are some of my fondest.
sometimes
i walk down the street and i'll inhale the aroma of
something that instantly puts me right back to a
place i've been... a whiff of a plane tree can put
me in mind of Paris on a mild autumn day when the
rain gently falls on an awning of a sidewalk
café; i sit, sip my coffee and enjoy a
truffle omelet.
the challenge for me is to capture the mood, the
spirit, the essence of that moment.
watercolor is a medium that is so immediate; once
the brush hits the paper, the mark is down and
permanent.
the challenge of the medium for me is to keep the
work fresh and clean.
watercolor helps capture the spontaneity of a
moment.
watercolor helps echo the immediacy of a memory as
well.
