- After participating in juried art shows of Open Studios in Santa Cruz, California, Christopher made the decision to pursue his passion for creating his visions in watercolor.
He states, “The effects of atmosphere and time of day in a landscape has always fascinated and moved me. The design and layout of each painting, the rhythm and placement of elements, is somewhat instinctual because of my design background. But on another level, the atmosphere of a piece, whether crisp and breezy or warm and hazy, is very important to me in each painting. I try to capture what I was feeling on my skin at the time, and to express that through the overall tone of a piece.”
- Recently, in 2005 and 2006, he circled the globe for seven months, solo, to paint watercolors plein aire. Currently, he is painting the series in the studio in Richmond, Virginia where the work has been winning awards and is in many fine art galleries, such as Crossroads and Art Center.
