SPECIALTY: ✔ Technique
Cecy Turner, who paints both in oil and watercolor, is an award-winning artist who has been painting and teaching for over forty-five years. She takes ordinary subjects and makes them seem magically “bathed in light.” She loves to paint a large variety of subject matter to continue the challenge with each new painting and she constantly works on her development as an artist. Her frequent plein air painting gives her much pleasure because of her lifelong love of the outdoors, as well as sharpening her decision-making and observation skills. It is her favorite way of painting because of its urgency and freshness.
