STAATS FASOLDT  - Watercolor

“My paintings are a mix of nature and my imagination. I love the quickness of the watercolor medium, done with a sense of urgency. Paintings using this medium must be done

within a certain period of time. The time it takes for a piece of rag paper to dry. You can work on it forever if you want to but that short pristine moment has a limited duration. I love watercolor’s unique transparency; there is nothing quite like it in other mediums, a near light feeling. “

My paintings are interpretations of nature that stress spontaneity and simplicity. I think paintings should be personal and show the marks of the human hand. I think the subject matter of a painting should be design itself”
