bath - england

By thomas wells schaller on 11/27/2010 10:01:03 AM Comment on this

  
a gorgeous town in somerset, about 100 miles west of london is well worth a visit - or a week's stay!


famed for it's spas and natural springs, it was favored by the roman's from about 45 AD - there is still a finely preserved example of a roman bath from that era - aquae sulis.

and there are no better examples of amazing 18th century georgian architecture to be found anywhere on the british isles.

New Article; Artist Daily

Courtney Jordan at Artist Daily was kind enough to write this very nice article on my work today.

The article is very flattering to me of course, but I think it says far more about the invaluable ways in which a painting - through the eyes and emotions of the painter - can give a viewer glimpses of far away worlds they may never get to experience. 

Thank you very much Courtney !

"Watercolor Artist" Magazine: December 2010

By on 11/7/2010 6:36:19 PM Comment on this


 Cover Art and Feature ;
"Ones to Watch" Issue; Author: McKenzie Graham

http://www.artistsnetwork.com/article/wc-ones-to-watch-10/?print=1


The December issue of "Watercolor Artist" magazine is a bonanza for anyone interested in the medium of watercolor.
On page 27, there is a terrific article by McKenzie Graham that highlights ten watercolor artists that the editors have determined as "Ones to Watch".
What is most striking about the piece is the reminder of how very wide the range of expression can be in the amazing medium of watercolor.  With relatively few tools of creativity at their disposal - brushes, paper, pigment, water - each of these artists has staked out and developed a clear and distinct voice .
I am very pleased and honored not only to be included in this exclusive group, but also to have had the good fortune to have one of my images featured on the cover of the magazine.
In addition, writer Ann Emmert Abbott has - in the same issue - produced a wonderful article on our accomplished friend, Keiko Tanabe which features many of her beautiful watercolor works and a glimpse into her creative process.
A number of other articles and images are packed between the covers of a "must have" issue of this great magazine.
