Juan Peña, L.A. Boats, 22 x 28" watercolor

Juan Peña is an avid proponent of transparent watercolor. Clearly, he respects the wonderful way in which a watercolor comes together. Juan’s paintings demonstrate a moment in time, with mood and personal conviction demonstrated in his every brush stroke. His work pops with enthusiasm. His extreme values of light and dark are artistic, innovative, and powerful.

"Plein-air paintings give me a reason to be outdoors and painting gives me an excuse for applying color to paper," says Juan.

Schooled in portraiture, landscape and seascape and having experience in the advertising graphic arts business for 35 years gives Juan Peña added insight to his fine art.
