A Poem & A Painting: A Watercolor Interior

I’m popping in to share my latest work from my watercolor class.  As you probably know, I love painting Interiors in oil.  Inspired by designer and artist Mark Hampton and his book of watercolors, Mark Hampton, The Art of Friendship, I am now attempting to paint Interior scenes using watercolors as well. 

From Amazon: Hampton painted hundreds of watercolors as gifts for the people who were closest to him. Mark Hampton: The Art of Friendship, by his widow, Duane Hampton, is a collection of 140 watercolors that reveal his wit, affection, and sophistication.  The paintings are whimsical, lighthearted, yet richly beautiful.

“At least our private worlds can reward us with peace and pleasure.”

~Mark Hampton

I love Mark Hampton’s style and the way he portrayed interior and architectural spaces with detail and warmth.  I am at the beginning of my Interior watercolor journey and my current effort (pictured next to the magazine image that inspired it), is a work in progress.

I think it’s coming along, needing a few more tweaks here and there.  I am loving the contrast in media between my usual oil paintings and the much more “go with the flow” watercolors.  What do you think of my latest painting?  I’d love to hear!
