Bev Drew Kindley watercolor En Plein Air
“Painted outdoors in my backyard garden with the sunshine highlighting the fresh spring colors and helping us forget all the rain that makes Oregon so green.” Bev Drew Kindley
“I’m a native Oregonian who paints to understand, and enjoy the inspiration of unique moments of light and weather. My impressionistic works of art are to viewed as visual celebrations, connecting with light, color, form, texture and design. It’s my way of communicating with the world. My hope is to encourage appreciate and protection of our heritage and world.” Bev Drew Kindley
About the artist:
“I have taught painting classes and worked in the art business for quite some time. At present, my greater enthusiasm is painting “en plein air”, a French term, meaning to paint working outdoors, and capturing the light without a short time frame because of the immediacy of the experience, as well as, the abundance of visual information along with the possibility of sudden breakthroughs in methods due to improvising.
All of my recent work begins with the experience of the real location, later finished in the studio, oftentimes with the aid of sketches and photos of the location.” Bev Drew Kindley (degrees in Art and Philosophy/ Portland State University)

“Always inspired by outdoor scenes and growing things, I want to share to share the sense of life and joy I feel through the spontaneous nature of water and paint. My painting is a celebration of our precious environment, an act of mindfullness, and a poem of gratitude. Discovering ways to express this is my journey.” Bev Drew Kindley

“I have a strong wish to share ideas, sketches, and choices.I feel watercolor best expresses the mood with its depth of color and independent ways of spontaneously creating shapes and textures suggesting nature.” Bev Drew Kindley
