April 17 meetingRandy has always thought watercolor is best served in splashy, spontaneous strokes. It yearns to be transparent and
luminous. Fluidity is the hallmark of watercolor. But of equal importance is dramatic use of light and shadow. It’s what provides definition, bringing form to life, creating an understated rhythm between the real and imagined. Above all, he likes to leave some things undefined just enough for the viewer to bring their own experience into what they see as they interpret my work. "My introduction to watercolor came about as an undergraduate art major at Principia College above St. Louis. My mentor and instructor was James Green, an original member of a coterie of notable watercolorists coming out of Choinard and Art Center in Los Angeles during the early 1930’s. This group of painters were close friends and had great influence upon each other’s work. They included such notable names as Robert Woods, Rex Brandt, Barse Miller, Milford Zornes and Millard Sheets (to name a few). These watercolorists were instrumental in creating a distinct style that has become known as the California school of watercolor. And one can easily recognize their influence in my own artistic work to this day." EIGHTEENTH ANNUAL
