Welcome to my online collection of Curious Paintings. A graduate of Massachusetts College of Art in Boston, MA with a BA in illustration, my professional career has included stints as a children's book illustrator, art director, creative director and director of corporate marketing for a variety companies in a variety of industries. I live with my family in Ipswich, a small coastal village north of Boston, where I'm surrounded by an assortment of vistas - ocean, beaches, salt marshes, farmlands and forest environs - each tinted a different color by every passing season. Plenty of stuff here for the painting. I enjoy creating compositions that reveal themselves slowly, with every viewing of a finished work uncovering something different. At the moment, my paintings spring mostly from the things my feet bump into as my wife and I tramp about the aforementioned beaches and woods; autumn leaves, seashells, pine cones, wildflowers and whatever. Experience has proven that if I look closely enough, the major elements of a clear-eyed and intriguing composition sit right at my feet. Very exciting for an artist. |

Watercolor is my medium, as it affords me the conflicting comforts of thinking I can control the paint while never actually managing to do so; every completed painting offers up surprises, mostly fun, I had not anticipated. On good days, watercolor's see-through translucence enables me to create a sense of 3-dimensional space on a 2-dimensional piece of paper; the watercolor wash appears to float above the paper's surface, inviting you to peer into and through it. To wherever your imagination and my paintings conspire to take you. Brian |
