Watercolors by Shirley Lehner-Rhoades.
I am fortunate to live near California’s Santa Cruz coastline, where I encounter compelling subjects everyday. I am fascinated and stimulated by those moments where light, shadow, inspiration and mood intersect, and I can hardly wait to get out my paint and brushes.
Watercolor painting has been my medium of choice for many years because it has allowed me a level of spontaneity that isn’t as accessible in other media. But more recently, I’ve concentrated on oil painting, because I find it an even more satisfying medium. I am fascinated by the freedom to apply successive layers of color and watching the image emerge from the canvas.
