Art of Mary e Stewart's Vision: Art that Speaks to the Soul~ New Additions

I am a watercolor artist with a desire to paint whatever comes my way and intrigues me.  I have drawn with pencil, and colored pencil, painted in oils at Willamette University art classes, and began to pursue other mediums, such as clay. I am exploring the watercolor methods of painting on clay. Clay is also a wonderful medium for creating art.

I have been in many juried shows and art festivals in Oregon throughout the years, and now living in Arizona have displayed my artwork in different arenas. 

I have explored painting watercolor on canvas with much success; it is another avenue for watercolors, which I thoroughly enjoy.  The final products look like refined oil or acrylic paintings with brilliant colors. 

A successful piece of art invites the viewer in and captures their attention by giving them a sense of wanting to see more.  Some images are soft and watery, peaceful, and others erupt with color that excites the senses.

I paint a myriad of subjects and am deeply involved with them all.  When working on an animal or person, you have the painting if you can capture the eyes (the soul of the subject matter).  If you cannot catch the eyes, something is lost, and it does not work.  It is that way with all my work, regardless of the subject matter.  I always hope my work incites the feeling of magic for the viewer, and they take that away.
