Article in Watercolor Magazine

"Portrait of Linda" watercolor 14x11.
This painting is the subject of an upcoming article in American Artist's Watercolor Magazine, spring issue 2010.

I write a column four times a year - each issue of Watercolor. while it takes a lot of time to write and paint for these articles, it keeps me at the easel, so to speak. And having my work published is the icing on the cake!

Paintings of Acadia National Park

When I get time later this year, I hope to begin a series of paintings of Acadia National Park, but this time, I will do "editions" of them.

In other words, I'll paint the same scene, same size several times, and because they'll be repetitions (or editions), they'll cost less than my one of a kind originals.


I realize that many collectors would rather have something I actually painted rather than a mechanical print, and I don't really mind painting the same thing more than once. In fact, I bet I'll get better with each iteration.

I'll probably sell most of these unframed - to keep the price down and also my frustration level, but they'll be varnished and frame ready - painted in typical stock frame sizes.

So stay tuned! I'll be offering them from my website: http://lwsimons.com
