Jill Targer is a local Santa Maria artist specializing in watercolor paintings of the things she loves and admires: big trucks, carnivals, roller coasters, flowers, grapes, the sea, friendship and life in general. And wine of course!
She notes: “I enjoy the simplicity of “just add water” as the basic rule of watercolor painting…like I did when I was a child. I admire the lucent quality and welcome watercolor’s “happy accidents” because they encourage spontaneity and flexibility.
Maybe my left-handedness puts a twist on my subjects, especially the quirky titles, and many of them have more than one meaning! My personal goal is to emphasize the common threads in our world, while celebrating the uniqueness of each of us. I try to illustrate this with humor, and strive to keep my paintings simple and direct. I don’t expect to change the world through my passion, but I do hope to change it one smile at a time.” Visit Jill’s website to view a sampling of her paintings and to learn more. |
The
Artist
I
believe that art is interactive and requires three elements to be
successful. They are: my idea, the medium, and your imagination.
In expressing my ideas, I like to let the paints do the work, then
stop a bit short and invite your imagination to take over.
