Marilyn Armor Watercolors - (540) 987-8770

Some of my paintings are interpretations of photos I have taken, a few are sparked by pictures I have seen, and others just come out of my head.

My watercolors have been inspired by the beauty of Rappahannock County, where I lived for fourteen years on a farm with magnificent views of fields, forests, the Blue Ridge mountains, and a river running through it all. I also spend time on Cape Cod, where my love for the ocean becomes a subject for some of my watercolors as well.

I am very eclectic in what I paint. Some of my paintings are interpretations of photos I have taken, a few are sparked by pictures I have seen, and then others—my abstracts—just come out of my head. In most cases I do not know what I am going to paint until just before I begin – and love to just start mixing colors. I get great satisfaction from the many unexpected effects that come from working with watercolors and what happens when I overlay different colors on the painting.

My largest showing of watercolors is at River District Arts, Sperryville, Virginia, where I am a resident artist. I also have paintings at Twenty Four Crows in Flint Hill, Virginia and at Pleasures and Treasures in Winchester, Virginia.
