About the Artist
Ron Weathers
The inspiration for my artwork comes from my surroundings and my travels. There is an abundance of painting references in nature, in rural and urban areas. I enjoy capturing the essence of marshes of the low country, the street scenes of bustling cities, the serenity of old barns of the country sides, and the manmade structures of boats and architecture. I can be found in my studio painting from photo reference or in the outdoors painting “En Plein Air”. I find that my expression in my artwork is somewhere in-between abstraction and realism, more like impressionism.
My art becomes a visual record of “my life”. It is my hope that as my art tells the story of “my life”, that it will much more importantly, point to the One who gives “my life” meaning.... the One who is the great creator, the maker of beauty and life, the ultimate artist, the One who gives our life value.
