"Bear in the Woods" - watercolor by Todd Winters.............."Blue Aspen Shadows" - watercolor by Todd Winters
Winters has been a contributing artist to the Harbinger for many, many years, and has been a professional artist in and around Taos, New Mexico and Kerrville since 1985. Constantly challenging himself to explore new artistic expression, Todd’s work has continued to develop and improve with each passing year. Todd says, “As long as I can remember, I have looked differently at art, thought differently, and painted differently. I consciously try to paint not what I see, but instead, how I feel about what I see. This current body of work I call 'Dreams' but they come from an unconscious place beyond sleep. Way, Way out in the distant horizon of imagination, within the abstract emerges a light dancing upon the delicate thread of life…it is here in this sublime garden I find grace. It is here where our 'Dreams' come from"
Todd has been recognized over the years for expressive interpretations of aspen landscapes, snow scenes, southwest adobe landscapes and bear portraits in watercolor and acrylic. Without question, Winters is most concerned with color, form and texture. Todd feels that these three ingredients in the right combination transcend all barriers. It is his hope to be able to express himself more simply, clearly, and in a unique way. He cites the works of Winslow Homer and Georgia O'Keefe as most gratifying.
Most consistent in all of Todd’s work is his expressive use of color, sometimes over-the-top, but always a crowd-pleasing technique. Acrylic paint on canvas only exaggerates the stimulating effect of his artistic style, while adding new dimensions as well. Acrylic allows the artist to create more texture, and more texture brings more feeling, more feeling brings more life. Come out to meet Todd and see his latest body of work at the Harbinger opening reception Saturday February 16 from 6 to 9pm. The show will run through March 18.
