Laguna Plein Air Painters Association Artist Daniel Marshall

“I like to think that I chose to work in watercolor but in many ways watercolor chose me. We have an agreement, it goes where it wants with little direction from me. Watercolor is not a medium that is “pushed” around. Instead you have to adapt and abandon rigidity as it flows and runs across the paper creating hypnotic washes. I strive to bring a sense of space and atmosphere, with a cinematic elegance and quiet sophistication to my work. Creating a poetic narrative, each piece telling a unique story.”

Laguna Plein Air Painters Association Signature Artist J. Ken Spencer

“Painting on location gives me a chance to see new things, to see different light conditions and to regularly feel the creative juices. When I paint in plein air I see the subtle colors and values of nature that are only possible by first-hand experience.  Photography can not capture those subtleties.”

Laguna Plein Air Painters Association Artist Michele Usibelli

“During my work in architecture, I felt deeply connected to the arts. But I truly discovered my passion when I began to explore oil painting. For me, the process of creating begins with a scene that I feel carries a certain energy and evokes an emotion. I find myself drawn to subject matter with rich colors or intriguing light. The vignettes of everyday life that inspire me to paint, regardless of whether it’s a landscape, figurative work, cityscape, or portrait. It is my primary goal to have each artwork I create resonate with energy and the poetry of light. I follow my own ‘rule’ of painting what is truly important to me and feel very fortunate to be able to share that with all those who support and appreciate my work. There is nothing more gratifying than knowing that my work, which is so important to me, is appreciated by others.”

Laguna Plein Air Painters Association Signature Artist Bryan Mark Taylor

“I spend a significant number of days each year outdoors studying and pondering nature, effects of light, atmosphere, weather conditions, season, as well as movement caused by light, clouds or a busy street. These moments out of doors are for me, an essential muse.”
