First Friday Description:
Join us when we welcome back local Artist Tom Schenarts on Friday, May 3rd.

"I am a visual person with a deep desire to paint. I don’t struggle with what to paint but what experience to paint next. I choose my subject on how an experience impacted me and try to bring that alive to the viewer. Once I put the story on the canvas, it no longer belongs to me. It hopefully then makes a connection with the viewer’s experiences.
I work primarily in acrylic and watercolor. The faster drying acrylics and watercolors best suit my work methods and my temperament. I don’t start a painting until I have a clear vision of what I want to convey. Then I spend a lot of mental time planning, composing and researching which often takes longer than the painting. I believe the mental part of the painting process is the most important part. I try to tell the story in a simple direct way and often include subtle elements that enlarge the story and further engage the viewer. Engaging the viewer in some way is the essence of what I strive to do. In addition to technical skill, painting takes a great deal of time and energy and I want my work to be more than a pretty picture. If the painting connects with the viewer, then I have achieved my goal." Tom Schenarts
