"stools"
Laura Barnhardt Corle

My paintings begin with an experience of connection to a place..The light and angles,breezes temperature, humidity and even scents join force with the site, revealing textures and details of rural North Western Ohio.

 
Depending on the size, the watercolors often take up to 80 to 90 hours--so a camera becomes a necessity--as lighting changes--or mosquitoes  and bumble bees buzz..It can get too hot--or too cold--or the farmers worry that you are immortalizing their barn in too much of an unmended state and start fixing the gutters...so my camera becomes a tool in my creative processes on 300 lb wt. D' Arches hot press watercolor paper.....
