I Totally Agree To This Point Of View Of One Of The Men Who Helped Me Enjoy And Learn My Art, BRUCE MAC
I totally agree to this point of view of one of the men who helped me enjoy and learn my art, BRUCE MAC EVOY:
Watercolors are no longer pale and understated and miniaturist, as they are often stereotyped to be. With modern materials and a postmodernist vision, they can be anything you imagine them to be — precise or unbridled, tiny or expansive, vibrant and daring or subtle and understated. Every life spirit can find expression through this medium.
Watercolor is a swim in the metaphysics of life, a mirror of one's personal relationship with the world.
The vitality in watercolor is the life of art itself — alert, spontaneous, surprising, improvisatory, relentless, risky, and leaning a little on luck.
Let it be unpredictable ... colorful ... wet.

“Consider the subtleness of the sea; how its most dreaded creatures glide under water, unapparent for the most part, and treacherously hidden beneath the loveliest tints of azure. Consider also the devilish brilliance and beauty of many of its most remorseless tribes, as the dainty embellished shape of many species of sharks. Consider, once more, the universal cannibalism of the sea; all whose creatures prey upon each other, carrying on eternal war since the world began. Consider all this; and then turn to the green, gentle, and most docile earth; consider them both, the sea and the land; and do you not find a strange analogy to something in yourself? For as this appalling ocean surrounds the verdant land, so in the soul of man there lies one insular Tahiti, full of peace and joy, but encompassed by all the horrors of the half-known life. God keep thee! Push not off from that isle, thou canst never return!” ― Herman Melville, Moby Dick
