Sometimes the beauty of light can last only an instant...be ready. - Laurie Goldstein-Warren; P119It starts with a sparkle of light; the expressive way a shadow maps out a face; the almost other-worldly luminosity of roses on an overcast day. These are the moments; often brief and unexpected; that turn ordinary subjects into powerful inspiration; and--when handled with skill and originality--a painting into a masterpiece.The magical moments featured in Splash 14 evoke the very essence of watercolor--light and color. More than 120 brilliant paintings are accompanied by generous insights from the artists. Find out how they captured lyrical light effects; quiet moods; lively shadows; and incredibly subtleties or shouts of color.In keeping with the Splash tradition; this volume celebrates the heart; spirit and innovation of contemporary watercolor. It promises hours of enjoyment and intrigue for artists and art-enthusiasts alike."A great painting is more often the result of an enjoyable journey than a planned process." - Janet Nunn; P110
