Shirley Edwards
Medium(s): watercolor
My interest in watercolor painting began in 1980 in New Mexico. Michael McCullough taught a class and I discovered the magic of watercolors using the natural beauty of the southwest as inspiration. My husband and I moved to the Sultanate of Oman in the late 1990’s and under the direction of the UK watercolorist Douglas Matthews, I rediscovered the enjoy and relaxation of painting. The people, architecture and landscape of the Middle East were a decidedly fascinating subject matter. Experimenting with the different tools and painting with friends resulted in artwork that gave pleasure to my eyes and heart and hopefully to others.
I have exhibited with the Omani Art Association and also the Springfield Art Guild.
