Portraits

Ron Wilson Fine Art
Ronald John Beverly Wilson -- BA(SA)
Born in South Africa in 1939, Canadian citizen
since 1996,
Ron is working in Canada and the United States of America.
He started painting in 1974, working first
as a broadcaster
in radio and TV before becoming a full-time
artist in 1992.
Holder of 3 awards by juries of the Federation of Canadian Artists.
Ron at Roche Harbor, Washington State, United States.
sketching direct from life in "plein air" is any artist's "secret weapon!"
Technique meant everything
during my first years as an artist
-- even though they tried to tell me that
technique is only the means -- not the end.
They're right, eventually I managed to put in feeling.
Now I'm painting more simply and choose only those
subjects that STOP me, hoping that some of that feeling
will be felt in turn by my viewers. While one can learn a lot about
art in a short time, it takes a lifetime to make those lessons one's own.
I enjoy fine art, painting
portraits, figures, wildlife, the sea, mountains and deserts,
working in sketchy pencil,
rapid pen 'n ink, juicy watercolours and brushy oils.
Suggestive imagery - saying
a lot with little - is my Home Style.
