The Climbing Lesson

MARTHA MARKS COMMENTS ON BERNARD MARKS ONE-OF-A-KIND WATERCOLOR “THE CLIMBING LESSON”:

Here’s an example of the kind of subject that Bernie really loved to paint. You’ve got what appears to be a classic Western rock wall. That’s the landscape part of it. And then the adult teacher and his young students add the human interest that Bernie reveled in and was so good at pulling off.

 This one-of-a-kind watercolor offers everything that Bernie most enjoyed incorporating into his work: Bright colors. Strong sunlight. Deep shadows. Interesting human figures. Body language. Rocky textures. Action. Ambience. He loved this painting, had it framed, and kept it for himself. Now it’s available for someone else to love as well.
