I am just an old man that enjoys experimenting with watercolor. Over the last\u00a0decade I have gradually moved my emphasis from realism to emotionalism in my work, and I hope it shows in this collection. People have always been primary inspirations to me, perhaps because they portray and invoke emotions so well. When that emotion can be felt in my art, it makes me happy.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Painting began at an early age for me, but I only discovered the magic of watercolor a decade ago. My earlier efforts were mostly realistic portraits and figures. More recently I have endeavored to emphasize shapes and values, putting less emphasis on color matching. This approach has allowed me to explore my \u2018favorite\u2019 pigments based on their characteristics rather than their hue. By using various masking and pouring techniques I can control shape but allow the medium to \u2018do its thing\u2019 on the paper.<\/p>\n

Jenny and Rick were \u2018neighbors\u2019 of ours at Jennings Boat Yard in Reedville, VA. They were originally from Montana, and named their boat High Country<\/em>. Jenny was working on High Country<\/em>, reseating the lifeline stanchions when I took her picture. The painting was the first one I did once we had moved back home. It was to always remind us of that period of our life when we lived aboard our boat and shared the ‘simple life’ with those we met along the way.<\/span><\/p>\n

During our years at Jennings Boat Yard, we made a lot of acquaintances in the Chesapeake Bay area. This painting of D. P. Newton captures the rugged, confident, and calm nature typical of the boatmen of the Chesapeake. A veteran boatman, Mr Newton was inspired by his Mom, who advised him to save everything he could. His recorded stories, drawings, and sketches of life in the Chesapeake Bay area during the Civil War are housed at the White Oak Civil War Museum in Fredericksburg VA.<\/span><\/p>\n

This painting was built up with 7 layers of poured paint, with shapes controlled by masking. I enjoy painting cities with this technique. Painting these urban environments is therapy, reminding me how much I like living in the country. <\/span><\/p>\n
