We hope this is a program that will continue for a long time to spotlight artists on Cape Cod.

-What do you enjoy the most about working in this medium? Working with watercolors provides a challenge unlike working in other mediums in that whatever is placed on the paper is generally fixed and final. It gives me a great sense of accomplishment to see my vision realized in a new piece of art. -How do you describe your artwork? My work is expressed with the emphasis on realism. As a descriptive term, Realism is not very precise. For me, it is meant as something more akin to naturalism. Even though objects in nature appear to be exact in their placement, they still exude a flow of movement in a certain way ie: an abstraction. This is attained with my signature style of using broad strokes and detail.
-Tell us about your creative process. I begin each piece with a basis concept which is outlined in pencil on paper. Depending on whether my painting is going to be intricate or more free flowing determines the method used. For my detailed watercolors I use small brushes with a dry technique and for a more free flowing effect I use a method where I paint with water only and then drop color into the water to achieve a more fluid result. My subject matter varies from seascapes to landscapes to still life and wildlife and I find that I am never at a loss for finding inspiration in nature. -Is there anything you want people to take away from your work? My signature style is one that is forever changing yet remains my own. I want people to feel my paintings. Whether it be the calm of a sunset, the smell of a flower or flow of the sea, I hope those viewing my work will come away with a sense of wonder and the best compliment of my work is when the viewer wants acquire it to make it their own.
Congratulations Chris and thank you for sharing with us!
Congratulations to our People’s Choice Award winner from the Breath of Spring exhibit, Chris Warrington. His springtime image “Robin’s Nest” was voted as your favorite. -How did you discover your talent for your medium? Since childhood I have always been attracted to art. Whether it be sculpture, pottery, lithography, oils, acrylic, charcoal or watercolors I have always had "art" in my life. To further my knowledge and developed my skills, I attended University of Alaska, Umass Amherst and Worcester Art Museum where I majored in art and was exposed to a variety of mediums. -Which artist has influenced you most? Johannes Vermeer
-Apart from creating things what do you do? I am a general contractor specializing in renovations. I went into the business as an extension of my art, taking my creative and artistic sense of design off the canvas and into people's homes. When not working or painting, I enjoy being outdoors and engaging in sport. I consider myself an adventure trail runner, snowboarder and love to climb Mt. Washington on a regular basis.
