Portraits in
Watercolor |
|
Monica Acee paints a variety of subjects in
watercolor, specializing in human and equine portraits. Using a
time-consuming method of layering paint adds depth and luminosity to her
work while allowing her to maintain a contemporary feel. The translucent
layers, slowly added, help to convey the layers of personality of those
depicted in her portraits. To further reveal the character of her
subject she often uses complex settings in her paintings. It is the
richness of color and attention to detail that sets her work apart.
Monica's paintings have been included in many
national exhibitions and have received numerous awards. Her work has
appeared in several publications, including the book The Best of
Portrait Painting and American Artist's Watercolor Magazine,
and recently appeared on the cover of The Chronicle of the Horse.
One of her equine paintings was featured on the 1997 Hampton Classic Horse
Show poster. She was among a select few invited to display her work
alongside the paintings of Andrew Wyeth and Philip Pearlstein (among
others) in the "Face of America" - an exhibition devoted to outstanding
portraits in watercolor.
Her paintings grace
numerous collections both domestically and abroad, including those of
super-model Christie Brinkley, William Bristol III of Bristol-Myers
Squibb, and the American Embassy in London, England. She is currently
accepting commissions from her studio in Upstate New York. |
