A Room on Church Street

Room on Church Street – watercolor – 11 x 16 inches.

Ask any artist: painting what you can see – flowers, sidewalks, sunsets, people – isn’t it a difficult task? So how do you paint something you can’t see, like a thought, a feeling, a mood? You sense the presence of something, but you can’t quite put the feeling into words, let alone into paint. For example: what is happening in this room?

Ave Maria

Ave Maria – Watercolor – 9 x 13 inches.

What makes something interesting to paint? At first, this room in a little town near the Mediterranean coast of Spain evoked an awareness of the past. But during the two days it took to paint it, the feeling changed from something that might have occurred a long time ago into an ominous sense of something that hadn’t happened yet, but was about to.
