Houle, Pam artist
Simply a beautiful and expressive landscape watercolor, a view with such visual memory for those who have traveled in the Sonoma area an hour or so north of San Francisco. This is a young American artist with well developed skills, both technically and expressively. In this piece the artist paints a direct expression of the feelings you get seeing the countryside as you drive in Sonoma. The beautiful ochre and gold grass bloowing in the wind, the carefully maintained old farmhouse structures, and the lone or small groupings of trees here and there. This is truly what really good traditional landscape art is all about. This artist has such special skills, and has created a series of similar, notable expressions in water color. She is an artist to watch.
