Vision of Anchorage 1

Artist Comments
This is one of two paintings I created while writing an article for Daniel Smith Artist Materials, an art supply retailer. I created time-lapse videos of the painting process showing the shifts of color in establishing mood for a painting. The scene was envisioned by me using my imagination along with some photo references of Anchorage, a local historical community. This painting is on heavyweight paper and will need a frame for display.

About the Artist
For Judy Mudd, creating a work of art means much more than simply reproducing something she sees. “It is more than painting a subject, it is expressing a feeling,” she explains. Judy develops her paintings with thorough reconnaissance work. She goes out on photo shoots in a variety of atmospheric conditions, sketches outdoors, takes notes, and completes color and value studies. From there, back in the studio, she lets the paintbrush guide her. Outside of painting, Judy also runs a real estate business with her husband. In many ways, her work in real estate can be seen via the architectural influences in her watercolors.
