2021 Laguna Beach Plein Air Invitational Artist
John Budicin
San Bernardino, California
“Most subjects I paint are everyday places, that with the right light, become magical. The intimacy which develops between artist and nature can not be expressed any other way. The relationship between artist and nature is like any other relationship. It takes time to nurture. The artist observes, getting to know the surrounding environment and eventually becomes an instrument of nature; representing the beauty, the light, and effects as interpreted through the artist’s eyes.”Â
