Oursland, Luke, artist2007-01-032007-01-032014http://hdl.handle.net/10217/90271Colorado State University Art Department capstone project.Capstone contains the artist's statement, a list of works, and images of works.The artist's statement: My work represents my interest in the people, places, and objects that surround me. I strive for a sense of truth and accuracy in what I depict, and for this reason I work directly from life. The unexpected beauty that can be found, even in the most ordinary objects, is something that I hope to convey. Watercolor is my medium of choice because it gives me the ability to create realistic images of what I see, while remaining obviously hand done. This gives my work a fidelity to nature, while also exhibiting a human quality. The small scale of my work caters to the sense of the objects and places depicted; they are often overlooked, but when considered, reward the viewer with their interesting and often beautiful qualities.Student worksengCopyright and other restrictions may apply.
