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. People's
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
feedback for future sucessful paintings. Bill
