Chuck Danford will be the Juror for our 2021 online show!
“I am first concerned with accuracy of the drawing, then the actual application of paint and the way colors interact when they make contact with the paper. Composition and texture combine impressionism and realism to create an image that will stir the emotion of the observer. I feel my best works have come spontaneously - frantically working with wet washes to create the desired mood for the piece. I think of my paintings as an opportunity to see subjects another way. I feel that too many of us take for granted the beautiful world that is around us. I have a tremendous love of nature, particularly mountains, rural landscapes, and wildlife. The exciting colors of the seasons and the natural design of nature are basic inspiration.
My goal is to make my paintings look different than watercolor paintings we have seen thousands of times. If I can share with people an image that is pleasant and enjoyable then I have been successful”.
