 “I love to draw and paint in nature. There are the moments of quiet and busy rhythms that speak of a great order and a great Wisdom that connects us to our world and to each other. I love the challenge of observing the illumination of land, water and atmosphere while distilling the essential character of a place in a simple sketch. If I can create the harmony that I observe in nature, not by rote, but through intuition and the abstraction of pattern, then I feel that I might paint something that is universal and worth expressing." -Bob Phinney
Mentoring Young Artists
When asked to donate his time as featured artist for the 5th Annual Hooked on Art celebration, Bob Phinney countered with a request of his own: “I want to teach a class of Bonner students.”
In honoring that generous request, several Bonner School 6th, 7th, and 8th graders are in for a special treat at Hooked on Art: a 2 hour workshop with Bob Phinney. The focus will be pen and ink with a water color wash. He will present several sketching and watercolor techniques. Erin Roberts, art teacher, will assist.
High quality paper, watercolor brushes, tubes of watercolor paint, and souvenier sketchbooks will be available for class participants, courtesy of Bonner School, Friends of Two Rivers, and the generous contributions of Hooked on Art sponsors.
There is no better way to honor Walter Hook!
