Tom Kubala #16 on the 2018 Covered Bridge Art Studio Tour stop Oct. 12-14th

Like most of us, Tom began painting soon after learning to walk. Unlike many,
drawing and painting has been his constant companion ever since. Currently,
Tom paints weekly with a group of friends known only to themselves as the
Dumpster School. His subjects range from local architecture and landscapes to
still life objects. Watercolor has been Tom’s media of choice primarily because of
it’s simplicity and portability, painting outside is a particular pleasure for him.

Watercolor is a fascinating medium, it has a mind of its own. Tom finds a major
task in painting is getting out of the way, both spiritually and physically.
Spiritually, to see the painting as it unfolds - without the filter of a concept or
abstract notion. Physically, so as not to interfere with the paint’s own mixing -
directly on the paper. Tom believes that a painting is a painting, that it must
stand on it’s own as a collection of colored blotches on white paper, a collection
that has the ability, if organized properly, to bring life to the world where none
existed before. Subject matter is only a starting point for his paintings, an
organizing framework for color and value.

Haley Maxine Grebe was born legally blind and sees the world with no depth perception. She grew to love two dimensional art because she could transfer her view of the world onto a flat surface which is the way she had always experienced it.  Some of her paintings and drawings focus on details in nature like her view through a magnifying glass while others become distant blurry impressionist landscapes.  Working in acrylic or chalk pastel her colors are intense because she sees colors very intense since her eyes have little pigment.
