Lisa Wiser (Studio #12)
Painting has been part of my life for over 50 years. I recall sitting outside at the age of eight painting a small watercolor of my red metallic reading lamp and telling my parents I was going to be an artist when I grew up. Landscapes have taken my attention for the past 10 or so years. In the warmer months I paint outdoors. Winter finds me in the warmth of my home studio reworking studies from the summer or creating new works from my travel photos.
My compositions are driven by moody light I observe in the field. Water soluble oils are perfect for outdoor painting sessions and acrylics layer nicely in the studio. Curiously I have noted that each painting develops a childlike personality as I work. Some are cooperative and others simply misbehave. My artistic influences include the Italian Renaissance painters, Dutch Masters, Andrew Wyeth and my father who taught me technical drawing skills at an early age.
