CALIFORNIA COAST, acrylic on panel

CALIFORNIA COAST, acrylic on panel, 9x12, available.

I was reading about Ted Nuttall, the fabulous watercolorist, the other day, in Watercolor Magazine, February 2014. He says that if he's not moving forward, he feels like he's standing still. I loved that comment, because I feel the same way. He also said : "the real energy of paintings comes from the feelings the artists had when they painted what they loved".  I always loved his watercolor portraits, now I also admire the person.

Ma Chambre `a Chantilly,France. watercolor sketch

Ma Chambre `a Chantilly, France.  watercolor sketch, 4x6" (10x15cm.) available.
Tonight I attended a chat/conference by Ted Nuttall, great artist of watercolor portraits, at the San Diego Watercolor Society's April meeting. Ted Nuttall talked about his painting, his life, his emotions and inspirations. He said we must paint subjects that move us, only then, we can move others with our paintings. He quoted Ralph Waldo Emerson: "Light is the first of painters. There is no object that light will not make beautiful." I strive to do that. Thank you Ted Nuttall!
