Demo for November – Mark Stewart, in Watercolor

Drawing has been a central part of Mark Stewart’s life from a very early age. In high school his natural gift led him to a drafting class and from there to Architecture while at Texas A&M University. It was there in the mid 70’s that Mark began to paint, experimenting with watercolor technique and closely studying the work of Winslow Homer, Andrew Wyeth and Edward Hopper. He graduated from A&M in 1975 with a master’s degree in Architecture and a serious commitment to his artistic avocation of watercolor painting.

A Message About the Fall Art Show

Thank you, everyone who braved the dire weather predictions and the rain and came out to the Fall Show!  The quality of the art work was incredible!  And we think a good time was had by all!  Congratulations to our best of show winner, Gridtiya Chotiwan, and all of our other ribbon winners!

I would also like to thank Dave Berthold for helping to move the panels both for set-up and take-down!  We could not have done it without you!
