Palm Coast painter Weldon Ryan is the featured artist at Hammock Wine and Cheese for the month of August.
Ryan’s art is a representation of his life experiences. Although his artwork is realistically illustrative, he allows for a bit of serendipity. He is engaged in the use of texture as well as the use of color.
“To be successful, an artist has to have the clarity to know what he is doing when he chooses to create,” Ryan said. “Through understanding of technique I can safely assume what the end result would be. Of course, we sometimes veer off to a change or two.
“But to control your experience is to know when something different from the norm happens. At that point we as artists choose to accept the change and go with the flow to see where we end up. That’s my scientist side. We must know technique and experiment with it. The importance of clarity is that you are not confused as to what to do.”
