Preserving a Time
Watercolor
20"
X 10" painting
One of my favorite
quotes about art is by Ivan Lissner, who said, "The secret of great art -
to rob the moment of its impermanence." That was my goal with Preserving
a Time. Sometimes Mother Nature puts on such a vibrant show that I must
capture it. That was the case when the sky started to turn behind the beautiful
clock tower. A gorgeous setting made better by the way the light enhanced the
clouds with beautiful lavender and coral shades that picked up the color of the
roof and shadows thrown by the trees. I amplified the sky and created a taller
tree to cast a larger shadow on the building. I will remember this forever and
hope my painting brings back wonderful memories for you of similar places painted
by nature.
