Please check out two new watercolor pieces by Marty Wilson!
In the artist's own words:
'The steep mountains dropping dramatically into the sea along the Big Sur coastline are dramatic sights. There is a nice juxtapostion of the wild ruggedness of the terrain with man's attempt to find refuge and tame a small part of it. The circling hawks keep watch. '

I don't know about you, but doorways have always intrigued me. Liz Dorn is a wonderful artist in the Whittier area and she sure know how to capture the essence of buildings. Here is a a little more info on Liz, in the artist's own words:
"I started painting when I was four years old. My father was an artist, amateur photographer, and draftsman. After he and my mother parted company, I was not given any encouragement by my mother and gave up painting altogether. After returning to junior college about eight years ago, I was required to take art classes. I then remembered how much I had loved painting and drawing so I resumed painting and earned my AA degree in art and haven’t stopped since then. "

Donna Larson is an accomplished watercolor artist. In the artist's own words:

"I have always been interested in all kinds of art and have been drawing and painting for as long as I can remember. I have a fine arts degree from Cal State Fullerton specializing in drawing and painting.
While working full time and raising two boys, I continued to take art classes and settled on Chinese Brush Painting to explore and perfect. I became intrigued with the loose and free style of this type of painting called Po Mo (meaning to throw ink or paint). The brush dances across the paper, laying down paint in a spontaneous manner.
Having recently retired, I now have time to develop my watercolor techniques (a combination of eastern and western styles). My subject matter comes from the places I've been and the things I have seen. Besides landscapes, I love to paint animals, especially horses. Watercolor lets me depict my enthusiasm for nature's beauty. I like to capture the light within the white paper, by surrounding it with dark shadows and various textures. To me, light represents energy."

"My subjects vary depending on what moves me. I love to paint landscapes and scenes of places I have been. I enjoy doing meaningful still life that includes objects that remind me of a special person or place. The figure is a challenge I have always relished. There is nothing more beautiful than the human form. It presents so many creative opportunities for expression. My Goddess series includes female nudes in natural settings that accentuate the softness of the female form and compares the lines and shapes to nature. " -- Lisa Ruiz
