Art Exhibit
Watercolors by Clyde J. Kamm
Clyde Kamm has been involved in watercolor painting since 1978. A graduate of the school of graphic design at Michigan State University, he went on to work at ad agencies in Detroit and Lansing. He chose watercolor for its clear and luminous qualities. Beginning a painting usually starts with a mental picture of some past experience, changing seasons, early morning light on the landscape, a vacation to the lakeshore. This creative spark is then fanned with as much research as possible: obtaining photographic reference, thumbnail sketches to develop design and value relationships, as well as past painting successes and failures that have shown what works and what does not. All these serve to ensure a successful outcome. Stylistically, his paintings have an impressionistic quality. His style introduces and interpretive element that gives the viewer a chance to identify with the feeling of the painting.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 


 
 
"Books constitute capital. A library book lasts as long as a house, for hundreds of years. It is not, then, an article of mere consumption but fairly of capital, and often in the case of professional men, setting out in life, it is their only capital."
Thomas Jefferson
