Watercolor inspirers

Some watercolor painters I've drawn inspiration from recently:
Painting at the End of the Earth - http://mceown.artistsnetwork.com/.
David McEown travels, literally, to the ends of the earth - Antarctica to Greenland to the Arctic- to paint watercolors. I grumble inwardly as I paint upstairs in our attic, complaining of the heat. Well, at least my paintbrushes aren't freezing on me. Gorgeous artwork that glistens the way you'd expect w/ such majestic subject matter. I love the penguins hanging out near his easel/painting spot. Too precious.



Victor Martinez - http://www.victormartinez.com/

Beautiful paintings inspired by his earlier life in Peru and his current home in New Mexico - portraits, architecture, and landscapes. Images like these create a gentle longing in my heart to one day make my home in New Mexico - plus I'd be closer to my dear friend Elizabeth :)

Jennifer Wu - http://www.shan5.com/watercolor.htm. I love the quality about these paintings. I just happened by them by googling 'watercolor'. The one to the right is titled "HuQiu".
