Georgine Honohan

    I am a watercolorist and I am a daily sketcher.  Watercolor is a medium that enables me to capture what I discover around me.  It is or table , meditative, and full of controlled surprises.  The transparency of this medium can capture depth with layers.  The flow of the watercolor sows the fluidity of nature .  The light of the paper showing through lends a freshness to my paintings.  Watercolor is a constant challenge that absorbs me on a daily basis.  

Drawing and sketching is an important part of my daily art. My love of sunflowers is showcased here. It is a subject I return to time and time again. To me they represent both beauty and strength and the transitory nature of beauty. The complexity of their form intrigues me and challenges me each time I set out to paint them.

    Composition is ultimately the force that holds it all together. Line, color, and value are at the forefront of my mind when I begin a watercolor painting. It is through daily sketching and painting that I am engaged with the world around me.
