September 2010
I grew up in Overland Pak, loved “art day” and as early as I could remember I have drawn, doodled and colored. I took all the art classes I could in Junior and Senior High School and was further inspired by my father who took up watercolor painting during a rainday session in our garage. He took a couple of classes and quickly became an accomplished watercolor artist. Much to my disappointment, my “early” watercolors and dabbles in painting were unsatisfying.
I joined the Navy in 1977 and continued to fill sketch books and decorated envelopes and made greeting cards. In 1992 I took a Drawing 101 course at JCCC and want to thank Mr. Thomas who “made” me branch out from smallish, tight, black & white still lifes & life drawings to pastel, crayon, craypas and, yes, even watercolors. These pictures show that progression pretty well.
Recently I have moved towards watercolor and ink painting with a more “abstract” look but I still do some representational work, and I am still trying to fill sketch books with drawings, doodles and coloring. None of this work is currently for sale (but if a piece really strikes someone, please make an offer). I am considering making art quality prints of these pieces and will sign and number them. In either case, the price will vary on the amount of prints and or size of the piece. Please contact Tilson for all offers or questions.
