About Sharon Matchett

My photo
I'm a retired, classically trained singer (and frustrated flautist) who has discovered another voice within which I now express through the medium of watercolors. Although the art of painting is something completely new to me (I am self taught), the language has turned out to be very familiar. As with singing an aria beautifully, expressing myself in a beautiful and meaningful way in watercolors involves excellent timing, rhythm, tempo, coloration, and artistry. For me, painting with watercolors is like music flowing from my brush. It fulfills that deepest need which I believe lies within us all, the need to feel connected. As I paint I am immersed in and connected to my subject. I become my most creative self, and, in those moments, I feel I am at one with the universe - a marvelous feeling for sure! If what I paint somehow connects with the viewer .... what more could an artist wish for?

Another Painting Finished

Am hoping this one is good enough to be considered for acceptance into the State Fair.  It's the first one I've painted freehand as I've gone along, although it was inspired by part of a photo.  I'm pleased with a number of things I did, but also unsatisfied with other things.  Don't know if there's time for me to get another one painted.  Tuesday is the last day we can submit paintings. 
Well, what do you think? I had a difficult time getting a really good photo of it  I think it's better in person.   It needs a title to.  Suggestions?
