Piece description from the artist
"Emory Adams 2019" – watercolor – 4"x8"
Started en plein air @ Emory Adams park in Findlay, Ohio, and then completed in the studio. I am moved by impressionism; by exploring ways of creating depth and texture; by John Singer Sargents looseness and yet clarity on the details.. and intrigue or story-telling elements in my work. pathways in my landscapes (and in this case, waterway!) are therefore common-place.
