Artist Comments
A watercolor painting depicting a serene coastal scene. A small white boat rests on calm water in the foreground, evoking tranquility. In the background, two houses with muted colors stand—one green, the other beige with a brown roof. Nearby, a weathered, rustic boathouse with red-brown wood stands at the water's edge. The scene conveys a peaceful, quiet atmosphere, enhanced by the soft, foggy hillside above.

About the Artist
Artist Judy Mudd paints vibrant watercolor scenes, often depicting barns and the countryside. "It's more than just painting a subject; it's about expressing a feeling," says Judy. Her chosen medium presents a challenge with its spontaneous movement, use of gravity, and drying stages, which she finds both fascinating and thrilling. Judy enjoys incorporating mystery and detail into her compositions, striving not to reveal everything and allowing the viewer to interpret her works. Raised in an artistic family, Judy learned drawing from her mother, shaping her lifelong passion for the craft. Her family tradition of artistry traces back to 1619 through her ancestor, Otto Marseus van Schrieck, a renowned oil painter in Amsterdam. Judy's creative process begins with gathering reference material during excursions, where she sketches and photographs various scenes. She operates from her primary studio in the spacious basement of her home, along with a mobile setup for outdoor or classroom sessions. Beyond her practice, Judy conducts painting workshops and classes, watches sports, and enjoys dining out with her family.
