X-WR-CALDESC:Detail is something you don't often see a lot of in watercolor
  paintings\, but that's not the case with our October and November feature
 d artist. Come and meet Steve Taylor\, the architect turned artist who fir
 st picked up a paint brush only six years ago. \n\nHere's what Steve said 
 about painting in a recent Hoover's Magazine article:\n'My preferred mediu
 m is watercolor. Primarily because of the inherent qualities\, or ‘persona
 lities’ associated with fluid pigments.  Sometimes\, it’s like dancing wit
 h ‘Sybil’.  One moment everything is in harmony but then it can turn on yo
 u in an instant.  There is a special sereneness about working with a wet m
 edium on semi-wet paper.  Transparent pigments take on a life of their own
  as they mix and blend with one another while still in a fluid state.  For
  me\, painting with watercolor requires total concentration\, almost a med
 itative state.  The drawing is just as important as the painting because o
 f the transparent nature of watercolor.  A lot of marks will be visible in
  a finished painting due to the transparency of the medium\, so the charac
 ter of a painting can very well be established before the first stroke of 
 a brush.'\n\nHere's another great quote from Steve taken from that recent 
 Hoover's Magazine article:\n'Every painting creates its’ own memories.  Th
 e first watercolor that I completed was a portrait of my Dad.  I sat down 
 the day that he passed away and didn’t get up until it was finished.  Need
 less to say\, there was more moisture on that paper than just tap water.  
 It remains a favorite of mine.  I have been very fortunate throughout my l
 ife to be able to create things.  I have been asked as an architect\, what
  I felt when I enter buildings that I designed.  The answer is the same as
  a mentor of mine\, Mr. Don Morrison\, told me many years ago\, 'I think o
 f what could have been done differently to make it better.''\n\nJoin us on
  the 10th to hear Steve speak directly about his exhibit. \n
