PAULINE "Polly" BOSTON
FINE ART PAINTER ART had been my career during my 22-year as a public-school music teacher, but I have always liked to draw. When my children were babies, I took the Famous Artists’ School correspondence course to learn the fundamentals of drawing. MY FIRST DRAWINGS produced commissioned work to paint charcoal portraits, scratchboard pictures, acrylic paintings, even sweatshirts for my fellow teachers! - My commissioned charcoal of the Local Librarian Portrait checking out books for children hangs in the public library of my hometown Columbiana, OH. - My work was selected to hang in the Butler Museum of Art in Youngstown, OH. WATER PAINTING became my passion when I retired to Florida. After studying with several excellent teachers (especially Anne Abgott) at ArtCenter Manatee in Bradenton, FL it was time to enter into juried watercolor competitions: - I won membership in the statewide Florida Watercolor Society for three consecutive years, and received several awards in their yearly competitions. - I joined the Citrus Watercolor Society after moving up in 2017. Recently won first place in the CWS competition at the Homosassa Springs Wildlife Park. MY PAINTING STYLE Is colorful and realistic, encompassing a variety of subjects. In 2016 I traveled to France for a watercolor class with Judy Morris. I love to do commissioned paintings because it involves studying subjects I would not ordinarily think of to paint, from grandbabies to grizzly bears! MY MEDIA FAVORITES are watercolor and scratchboard. I enjoy working with people to produce the perfect piece of memorable artwork for gifts or for their own homes.
