Misty Burruel - Watercolor
Artist Statement "Living in the San Bernardino Mountains allows me to investigate a landscape that is in constant flux. Wish you were here… are a series of watercolors reminiscent of postcards. They reflect my direct experience with the environment through discovery and exploration by way of kayak, boat, and roadside. As a curious observer, I find the myth and beauty of landscapes intriguing. I am interested in the lucid quality of watercolor and how it allows for a sincere experience of light and space. My work presents moments that are honest, immediate, transient and seductive. These moments are both shared and isolated experiences." – Misty Burruel

Linda Br0wn Painter Back by popular demand!!! Linda Brown, a featured artist here at The Lake House, is joining us again to show us more amazing Lake Arrowhead, Northern California and Yosemite paintings she’s recently completed! In a style described as “Painterly Realism”, Linda seeks to capture the feeling of a place beyond the obvious details. Her Paintings emphasize the effects of light and atmosphere, and celebrate all the varied colors and textures found in nature. Her favorite subjects include the yet unspoiled landscapes of the Western U.S., especially the mountains and deserts of California. With every brushstroke, she hopes to share her love of the land with other. Linda’s amazing talent is a treat for any Art aficionado!
Some of her work:
Debra J. Holladay Painter Debra, a native Californian, began her art career at age two with her Mother’s red lipstick as her medium and her cooperative dogs belly as her canvas! Following her natural talent, she received her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Advertising Design then moved to New York City, where she lived for six years. During her time in N.Y., Debra studied portrait and figure painting at the Art Student’s League of New York with Hilary H. Holmes. She also studied en plein air with Curtis Hansen for three summers, in Central park. In 1996, Debra brought her enthusiasm and solid foundation back home to southern California, where she continued to pursue her love of painting. Debra is a member of the California Art Club, a founding member of Studio2310, and a charter member of the National Museum of Women in the Arts. Her preferred medium is oil on linen canvas or board, yet she enjoys other media such as acrylics, watercolor, ink & linoleum block printing. We are very proud to feature Debra as one of our New First Friday Artists for this 2011 season!
