Cindy Spencer and Bob Vaughan are watercolorists showing their work at the Pemaquid Art Gallery this season. They both enjoy exploiting the impressionist qualities of watercolor as the colors tend to blend and flow spontaneously. The concept of “less is more” is seen in Spencer’s watercolors, where she strives to convey mood and atmosphere without picky details. The effect is light and airy, a happy result. She feels that big brushes, experimentation and her imagination are her most important tools. This is Spencer’s first season at the Pemaquid Art Gallery. Her work also can be seen at cindyspencerart.com.
Bob Vaughan has been a member at the Pemaquid Art Gallery since 2011. His watercolors reflect his fascination with the “bright, translucent colors….that capture the beautiful light we see in nature.” Vaughan expresses the belief that “painting what you see to express how you feel” is a piece of artistic advice he has taken to heart. He especially enjoys portraying light as it falls on his subjects, whether he is interpreting landscape or has included buildings (iconic Maine houses and buildings are a favorite theme) and figures.
You may find Vaughan’s work at River Arts shows, and other area locations as well as at the Pemaquid Art Gallery. Painting plein air near the coast during the summer, you may even find him concentrating on a new painting somewhere in the local area!
