When I create a painting, I endeavor to help you perceive the positive energy that surrounds you; to not only see the kaleidoscope of colors; but to feel the wind in your hair; to feel the warmth of the sun; to hear the music of the Qi, and to taste the fragrance of life.

Peter Thomas Bigelow

Painting is a serious effort to deal creatively with deep inexpressible emotions I feel when confronted with the wonder and irony of living in this world. Nature and the man's place in nature is at the center of much of my art. I try to use the visible world to allude to the invisible.

Julie Bowland

229-253-9395 | bowlandjulie@netscape.net | www.juliebowland.com

I am primarily a landscape painter, working directly from nature in a thick, vigorous impasto with a strong emphasis on color. Color expresses excitement and emotion as well as establishing and defining space and form. An expressionist at heart, I believe that color and form may be freely interpreted and exaggerated, but it is important to me to paint from nature.

My abstract paintings and color constructions highlight Earth’s light and atmosphere. With glowing jewel-like colors, smooth gradations emerge to evoke the grandeur of breathtaking vistas. Thoughts of oceans and the blazes of sunsets burst into creation from acrylic paintings on thin, sinuously-shaped panels of wood.

Sandy DeLopez

My inspirations come from people, animals and nature in everyday life. I paint in a representational style in oil and acrylic, emphasizing light and color. Whether it's a portrait of a person or pet, a landscape, home or still life, I aim to capture the emotional appeal of the moment on canvas

Richard Drake

850-383-9765 | richard-drake-artist@comcast.net | home.comcast.net/~richard-drake-artist

When I present myself to my canvases to begin creating, I choose to create in a preconscious state. I do this to prevent my conscious self from interfering with the creative process. I believe once learned the formal principles of composition will appear if left alone to do so on their own terms. I am often inspired by pure and simple things in our world as points of departure for my artwork.

Ken Echternacht

My painting style is based on techniques used by modern classical realists. However, my subjects are taken from the present-day, not the Neoclassical Period. I am interested in creating naturalistic images from everyday life with themes ranging from the landscape to the still-life to the figurative including portraiture. I work in oil, watercolor, egg tempera, and acrylic.

Working from her home with oils and palette knives, she paints realistic three-dimensional landscapes – from memory.

Anna Kincaide

Beginning in childhood, I have always been able to see beauty and in everyday life. Color and light combining with whimsy and desire capture the spirit of the moment. Every day brings a new discovery as I down an artist's path. The similarities and dissimilarities between subjects, the use of texture and color and the array of emotion captured in a piece is both challenging and rewarding as an artist.

Junia Mason-Edmonds

JuniaMason@aol.com | www.juniamason.com

For inspiration I take to the woods with camera to frame starting points for my paintings.   This raw material provides the foundation, lending authenticity and individuality to each project. From such kernels of truth, I exaggerate and reduce the high contrast, stained-glass like patterns of light and shadow toward a more dynamic and kinetic composition,   propelling the image along the continuum from landscape to abstraction.

The fading landscape I paint, is at least for awhile, out there someplace, somewhere just beyond the urban sprawl, shopping malls, and trailer parks. It is still a land of myths and facts, inhabited by powerful birds, vigilant panthers, weary gators, blackwater swamps, old cypress trees, back road citrus stands and careening logging trucks.

Have you ever seen something so beautiful you feel as though you are the luckiest person in the world to have been at that place at that moment? You snap a picture but some how the photograph never seems quite as spectacular as when you were actually there.  This is why I love to paint. It allows me to capture on canvas, the feelings or emotions of the moment

Painting is an intellectual and a sensual pleasure to me. It reflects my life in the attempt to reach an equilibrium: that balance between light and dark, hard and soft, and hope and despair. My paintings are sanctuaries and sources of inspiration, offering comfort and sometimes magic -- and they are a joy to paint.
