Cindy Welch – Beautiful color and water! What could be more exciting! I enjoyed painting with watercolor in art school in my early years. However, I majored in graphic design and didn’t paint again until I re-discovered my love of it in 2007. Having worked with a number of different mediums, I found watercolor to be the most exciting and challenging. The transparency sets it apart from all other mediums. Mingling colors, mixing of water and paint, pouring and masking. There’s always something new to discover. It’s hard to control which is part of the fun . . . the outcome can be a total surprise! I paint from my own photographs of nature and local scenes. My passion is color and creating an image more exciting to the viewer with beautiful hues, while maintaining realism. The image must be something that stirs an emotion or a memory for me, and hopefully, for my viewers.
