I was taught early on about colour by Mr. Eric Metcalfe and painting/drawing shapes by Mr. Jack Shadbolt. Heavy influences for an eager young artist back in the 80's that continues to this day. As well, both my parents have been active Artists, my Architect Father drawing sketching painting, my Art Teacher Mother writing, sewing, drawing, painting. Our household was filled with art, and we were encouraged to draw every day, whether it be with chalk on the living room coffee table (a big piece of slate) or on windows with black tiny line pens to better learn and catch perspective. Awesome!
Here are a couple of examples of my water colour work. The brushstrokes, the waterfilm spreading joyfully across the page with bright translucence, creating form, fiction, love of life and looking.
