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.”

Terry Miura
Fair Oaks, California
“Miura’s evocative tonalist landscapes explore the relationship between memory, emotions, and identity. “Although they’re still very much representational,” says Miura, “they’re not about specific locations. Well, actually they are, but the locations are found in my and the viewer’s memories. Not out there in the physical world .”

“I find plein air painting stimulating, challenging, and a process that involves all the senses. One needs to be very alert, spontaneous, and open to the ever-changing scene.”

David Marty
Edmonds, Washington
” I am awestruck by the beauty and diversity of the Northwest. I see the fingerprints of a creative God all around me — from the last glow of golden light on a mountain to the sparkle of a meandering meadow stream. This inspires me to try to capture an essence of a scene or moment in time, and share that with others.”

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.”
