Bill Fenwick
A few words from the Artist...
Before I begin a painting I do several small
outdoor sketches of a scene that inspires me. In this phase of constructing
a painting, I work out abstract shapes and initial color that comes
to me from my first impression. After completion of the initial sketch
I put the image away for a week or more. When I start to work on the
painting again, I bring out my original outdoor sketch, I try to transfer
that original feeling that transpired when I created the piece.I try
to capture the feeling of light ,color and shape, and the emotional
mood of the place. Peoples verbal responses to the visual elements in
my paintings are important information for me, what elements are effective
in achieving the purpose and mood of the painting?. This type of information
provides positive feed-back for future sucessful paintings. Bill is a member of
the following organizations: Pacific Grove Art Assoc., National Artist
Equity Assoc.,National Acrylic painters assoc.,Pajaro Valley Arts Council,
The Santa Cruz Art League, and a lay member of the Carmel Art Assoc.
