2020 Laguna Beach Plein Air Invitational Artist
Daniel Marshall
Denver, Colorado

“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.”

“It is my intent to seize the viewer and hold their interest by allowing their own mind to explore the mystery, yet react to a sense of having known a sense of being there.

Kathleen B. Hudson
Lexington, Kentucky

“When I envision a new painting, I focus on points of shifting light and atmosphere in the scene. To me, these are the source of a landscape’s beauty: the things that make us stop and look before continuing on our way.”

Michael Obermeyer
Laguna Beach, California

“I try to find subject matter that fascinates me. Nature provides the perfect balance of shape, value and color – the three elements that I find most important in painting. It can be so satisfying and I feel blessed for that.”

2020 Laguna Beach Plein Air Invitational Artist
Jed Dorsey
Camano Island, Washington

“I like how light changes objects, from garbage cans, to buildings, to plants and trees, creating shadows and diverse colors. One of my favorite subject matters to paint is filtered sunlight shining through trees onto a road, river, sidewalk, or path. It is an invitation to the viewer. I paint landscapes and cityscapes because I have lived in both rural and urban spaces. I see beauty in both. Whether I am painting on location or painting from a photograph, I create the scene in a way that I find aesthetically pleasing. I don’t want to just duplicate a photograph.”
