Rainy Day - Near Paris, France

By Bart Forbes

Located in Dallas, TX

"Rainy Day - Near Paris, France" is a watercolor on Canson Aquarelle French cold press watercolor paper. The price does not include a frame. The overall paper size is 6 x 9 inches. In addition to being one of America’s foremost illustrators, Bart Forbes creates paintings and watercolors for himself. This private and very personal work, is painted from his mind’s eye. Forbes’ oil paintings express a time of day or a mood through his use of color, texture, and composition. Forbes moved to Dallas in 1967, after completing graduate study at the Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles, following his BFA in art from The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Forbes was the official artist for the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul, Korea.

Harney graduated from Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, Wash., with a major in Education and a minor in Art. After graduation, she moved to Arizona to take a teaching position. Since that time, she has taken art classes in Arizona at A.S.U., Scottsdale Community College, and privately. In the beginning, she painted in oils on canvas or masonite, then taking an interest in screen printing. Several years later she discovered acrylic paints and loved the quick drying properties of them. Eventually, she switched from painting in acrylics on canvas to painting on paper and gradually worked into painting in watercolor, which is now her medium of choice. Harney founded the Garden Art Show in 1965, which has been running yearly since that time. She has also been a participant in the Phelps Mill Festival for over two decades, as well as Phoenix’s Artist’s Studio Tour. She is a member of the Art of the Lakes Art...
