Frank Lupo
My love of watercolor began in 1983 while traveling on a 6 week architectural fellowship through Italy. I would stop each day at a villa or garden and execute one or more small watercolor studies. Over the past three years I have moved my painting indoors to my studio. I have also moved to gouache, opaque watercolors and have increased the scale of my work from 5"x7" to 44"x 60". The work for the most part has moved on to capturing fleeting moments that are based on odd images from my personal life over the years that I have collected on polaroid, cell phone camera and in newspaper clippings. I enjoy the challenge of creating these moments in this medium and at this large scale.
