Noble Stature Original Watercolor 13x20

Watercolor Artist – Steve Philbrook I was Born in Boston and grew up in New England. I started painting after a Successful career as a golf professional, most of which was spent in Florida and the Northeast. My father was an avid watercolor artist. Late in life, he developed Alzheimer’s. With no previous interested in painting, I started painting with him to spend time with him and keep him active and engaged. After my dad passed away, I continued painting. As an avid fly fisherman, many of my paintings are reflections of my passion for the outdoors and time spent on the water. When selecting subjects, I try to search for something striking that suggests the natural movement of the subject. I try to motivate the viewers to …” feel the painting, not just see the painting” … “I try to bring to the viewer a little realism along with some creativity and exaggeration.” My passion to paint not only includes wildlife but a variety of subjects. Most of my framed paintings are framed wood which I make from old barn boards and other weathered wood.
