Frank Porter
Artist Statement
I agreed to buy watercolors, brushes and paper, and so much more, so my wife Cheri Porter would begin to paint. For years. I tried to persuade her to take up watercolor painting without success. It only took a few failed paintings to realize I enjoyed painting with watercolors in spite of what I initially created.
I thoroughly love watching the magic of pigments, water and cotton paper while creating a painting. I have not had any formal art training, except for one class at Northern Illinois University. Art appreciation. Except for fulfilling a credit requirement, the class gave me a profound love of art by the masters.
