"At Eventide" - Original Watercolour by Glenn Marshall
I had a wonderful surprise yesterday morning when I discovered that four of my paintings have been included in a digital art installation which is now on display at Brookfield Place Winter Garden in Lower Manhattan, New York. To be included among 10 of the most innovative and creative artists from around the world who had submitted, is a great honour indeed. Naturally I am proud to be included and it has given me a real boost to get on with my preparations for "Double Vision" in October. But what pleased me more than anything is the fact that traditional watercolours still have a place in this digital age. Three of the paintings chosen were from my 'Inspiration' series - a set of paintings based on the style of the Victorian artists so I am  glad their style of painting can still resonate with people today. Here are the other three paintings chosen:
The installation is showing on huge screens in the Winter Gardens but if you can't get there in person (like me!) here is the full video. I hope you enjoy it.
Prints and cards of paintings by Glenn Marshall are available to purchase

As a rule water colour and oil paintings what employ the glazing technique don't fair well when viewed on a pc monitor. Digital cameras etc tend to read the surface colour and become confused with the under glaze hues and guess or approximate as best they can.
The usual result is 'TV' colours, garish reds and blues with shade and shadow appearing like mud.
Glenn Marshall's work never seems to do this and retains the luminosity and vibrancy through out.

Thanks Mike - it explains a lot. I have had problems with colours especially when uploading iPad paintings onto YouTube.
