Artists Describing Their Art:

Maria Teresa Fernandes - Admiring Teresa's paintings we are touched by her pictorial sensitivity. Difficult task in light colors (volume and transparencies on a clear basis). Few do it due to the required dedication with pallete knife(no brush).It's painting consacrated by the love to paint.

Jacqueline Weegels Burns - My whole life I have always been involved in arts and crafts. Now, having two children, my art seems more eclectic than ever, because I am influenced by them and THEIR art. In turn it is wonderful to see how I inspire them with my stories and art. We have created art together, ranging from home made cards, watercolor pictures, multi-media images, 3-D objects and much more. My art will always be varied as I enjoy switching between small detailed pictures and larger abstract works....

Walter E Westbrook - The things that motivate me are the everyday experiences we react to, like space, atmosphere and the dramatic play of nature, or its calm and peaceful moods. All these play an important part in the experience and interpretation of the landscape. I do not want to create a new and unreal world that I do not recognise, feel or see. To be part of this amazing world is in itself a privilege. The variety and ever-changing moods never cease to inspire and motivate me. It is the world I know and want to record as I see and experience it: a world of uncomparable beauty, totally unpredictable and exciting - new every day. I enjoy the moods and the changes throughout the day, together with the reactions, habits and responses of people in different situations. All this inspires me. To say something about everyday things that are often taken for granted: things that are part of everyday conversation - everyday observation. So why not paint it? I have no desire to paint the unreal - things that are not understood - just to be different or "with it", or to invent a world that does not exist. I need to express and interpret ...

Pamela Wilhelm - Welcome art lovers! MY NAME IS PAMELA K. WILHELM. Since beginning to sell my paintings,on Ebay in January, 2002, I now can say I have paintings hanging in every state in the USA except Alaska, and South Dakota as well as the countries Germany and England. I sometimes offer art that I am reselling from my lifetime of collecting as well as my own paintings. I will make this distinction very clear in my auctions. Watercolor is my first love. It requires intense control while allowing the thrill of profound spontaneity. I enjoy wire sculpture and monotypes as well. My whimsical acrylic paintings are a reflection of my love for teaching and working with children in the arts. Their quest for fun and fancy always inspires me. I have access to a gorgeous line of hand made MINI frames made from custom imported and domestic mouldings. I will be offering a variety of these weekly. You will find NEW styles every week so keep looking! My qualifications Educated at Montana State University, I then pursued a long career selling at arts and crafts shows, entering or winning prizes in nearly 100 juried exhibitions in the past 21 years in ...

John Fuller - Born in the South West of the United Kingdom. John Fuller has spent most of his working life in Architecture and Design. His initial introduction to painting was in colour rendering to Architectural drawings. This he progressed to monochrome landscape scenes, as a hobby, again based very much on the Architectural field. His interest in watercolours came many years later when in his fifties he attended a specialist course in loose big brush work. During this short course he found that he readily adapted to this style and has not looked back since. His personal style has changed over the years, but his love is for big dramatic skies. A part of his paintings he is always trying to enhance and experiment with. Johns work is predominatly impressionist landscape in a very loose style. He has been influenced by the work and style of Ed Wesson, Edward Seago Rowland Hilder and Ron Ranson. Painters of vast repute and experience that John admires. John teaches privatly to individual pupils, but freely admits that his work and experience is mainly self taught. He encourages pupils to paint loosely, leaving behind the detail style of'pretty chocolate box' watercolour painting. His aim is ...

James Parker - Painting, drawing, and to a lesser degree, photography, have been the driving creative force in my life for the past two years. The changing circumstances of life have allowed this to happen, and for this I am quite grateful. Pin and ink, liquid watercolors, acrylics, and the mixing of mediums are used for these works. My art is somewhere between reality and fantasy, with perhaps a unique style (as all are) which is slowly maturing. Much of my work I try to make light, colorful and fun, and even somewhat premitive with a touch of fantasy. Rustic little cabin scenes, and most seascapes perhaps show this best. Landscapes--mountains, trees, ocean and beach scenes, these are my favorite subjects. I prefer to work quite small. Most paintings and drawings come with wooden 11"X14" frames and hand selected colored mattes. These smaller sized works I have found to be excellent for creating pictures that are both colorful enough and detailed enough to carry an "impact". A few fine art's photographs taken back in the late eighties, some of which were published by a national calendar company in 1989 and 90 are also offered here. Those hundreds of hours looking ...

Jacek Krenz - The fascinating thing about watercolour painting is the search for balance between the intention of the artist and the alchemy of the process when paint is touching the paper. To explore this alchemy and experience the thrill of unexpected results is what I like most about painting. It is only me and the brush, water and colours to negotiate with the nature of reality and the nature of the mind....
