UWS April Member Meeting

RECAP Lindey Carter

It was an evening of delight watching

Lindey Carter as she worked on a

very non-traditional painting surface

It was also gratifying to see how that

kind of watercolor painting can work

for the experienced hand Who ever

heard of painting with watercolor on

an acrylic primed surface Yet she

showed off the virtues of it very well

Lindey began her presentation with a

history of her beginnings as a young

girl in a large family trying to find her

place and discovering a way to deal

with the energy and chaos by

retreating as best she could into her

own world of drawing and

watercolor She shared a little about

the spiritual underpinnings that were

behind her skills and talent After

she married Lindey received her

post high school education at Weber

State and her degree from the

University of Utah She and her

husband have four children She

paints out of her home

Lindey uses threads of thought and

feeling that she gains from literature

Often what she is striving for is a

degree of balance and simplicity in

her watercolor paintings

Lindey calls herself a ldquobinge painterrdquo

In anticipation of an upcoming show

she will bring out the supplies and

basically take over the kitchen and

dining room She produces several

paintings at a time over a couple of

weeks to a month During that time

the family eats out or fixes their own

meals

While many who study Lindeyrsquos work

might say there is an Asian

influence itrsquos all really just her

finding ways to express what she

feels Any direct connection to Asian

or oriental influence is purely

coincidental

The Utah Watercolor

Society needs

volunteers like you

canrsquot help myselfrdquo Or ldquoI would be

incomplete if painting were not in my liferdquo

As you consider the how what and why of

your own painting what answers do you

come up with

This is my last Presidentrsquos Message and I

thank you for taking the time to read it Itrsquos

been a wonderful journey with you all See

you at our next meeting

When I first joined UWS-CVC I was mainly

interested in learning the techniques of

watercolor My previous efforts had been less

than successful My colors were washed out or

else I tried to use such thick paint that it must

have seemed I was thinking of oil paint (my

first love in painting) At any rate in UWS I was

delighted with all the opportunities to learn

technique demonstrations workshops and

instructional videos All good Essentially the

ldquohowrdquo of watercolor painting

But there are other and I think deeper considerations Nita Engle in her

introduction to How to Make a Watercolor Paint Itself talks about two of

these deeper questions The first is essentially ldquoWhat do you want your

watercolor to dordquo Or ldquoWhat response do you want from a person viewing

your paintingrdquo For me I would love it if the person viewing my painting

caught their breath and gasped at the beauty of Godrsquos world that I had

hopefully captured in paint The ldquowhatrdquo of painting could be answered with a

subject or topic such as portraits or landscapes or pets or flowers but I

think Englersquos ldquowhatrdquo is a better deeper one

The next probing question Engle asks is ldquoWhat motivates yourdquo Or in other

words ldquoWhy do you paintrdquo I think this is at the heart of an artistic

temperament When I face this question I come up with answers like ldquoI just

UWS April Member Meeting

RECAP Lindey Carter

It was an evening of delight watching

Lindey Carter as she worked on a

very non-traditional painting surface

It was also gratifying to see how that

kind of watercolor painting can work

for the experienced hand Who ever

heard of painting with watercolor on

an acrylic primed surface Yet she

showed off the virtues of it very well

Lindey began her presentation with a

history of her beginnings as a young

girl in a large family trying to find her

place and discovering a way to deal

with the energy and chaos by

retreating as best she could into her

own world of drawing and

watercolor She shared a little about

the spiritual underpinnings that were

behind her skills and talent After

she married Lindey received her

post high school education at Weber

State and her degree from the

University of Utah She and her

husband have four children She

paints out of her home

Lindey uses threads of thought and

feeling that she gains from literature

Often what she is striving for is a

degree of balance and simplicity in

her watercolor paintings

Lindey calls herself a ldquobinge painterrdquo

In anticipation of an upcoming show

she will bring out the supplies and

basically take over the kitchen and

dining room She produces several

paintings at a time over a couple of

weeks to a month During that time

the family eats out or fixes their own

meals

While many who study Lindeyrsquos work

might say there is an Asian

influence itrsquos all really just her

finding ways to express what she

feels Any direct connection to Asian

or oriental influence is purely

coincidental

The Utah Watercolor

Society needs

volunteers like you

canrsquot help myselfrdquo Or ldquoI would be

incomplete if painting were not in my liferdquo

As you consider the how what and why of

your own painting what answers do you

come up with

This is my last Presidentrsquos Message and I

thank you for taking the time to read it Itrsquos

been a wonderful journey with you all See

you at our next meeting

When I first joined UWS-CVC I was mainly

interested in learning the techniques of

watercolor My previous efforts had been less

than successful My colors were washed out or

else I tried to use such thick paint that it must

have seemed I was thinking of oil paint (my

first love in painting) At any rate in UWS I was

delighted with all the opportunities to learn

technique demonstrations workshops and

instructional videos All good Essentially the

ldquohowrdquo of watercolor painting

But there are other and I think deeper considerations Nita Engle in her

introduction to How to Make a Watercolor Paint Itself talks about two of

these deeper questions The first is essentially ldquoWhat do you want your

watercolor to dordquo Or ldquoWhat response do you want from a person viewing

your paintingrdquo For me I would love it if the person viewing my painting

caught their breath and gasped at the beauty of Godrsquos world that I had

hopefully captured in paint The ldquowhatrdquo of painting could be answered with a

subject or topic such as portraits or landscapes or pets or flowers but I

think Englersquos ldquowhatrdquo is a better deeper one

The next probing question Engle asks is ldquoWhat motivates yourdquo Or in other

words ldquoWhy do you paintrdquo I think this is at the heart of an artistic

temperament When I face this question I come up with answers like ldquoI just

The Utah Watercolor

Society needs

volunteers like you

canrsquot help myselfrdquo Or ldquoI would be

incomplete if painting were not in my liferdquo

As you consider the how what and why of

your own painting what answers do you

come up with

This is my last Presidentrsquos Message and I

thank you for taking the time to read it Itrsquos

been a wonderful journey with you all See

you at our next meeting

When I first joined UWS-CVC I was mainly

interested in learning the techniques of

watercolor My previous efforts had been less

than successful My colors were washed out or

else I tried to use such thick paint that it must

have seemed I was thinking of oil paint (my

first love in painting) At any rate in UWS I was

delighted with all the opportunities to learn

technique demonstrations workshops and

instructional videos All good Essentially the

ldquohowrdquo of watercolor painting

But there are other and I think deeper considerations Nita Engle in her

introduction to How to Make a Watercolor Paint Itself talks about two of

these deeper questions The first is essentially ldquoWhat do you want your

watercolor to dordquo Or ldquoWhat response do you want from a person viewing

your paintingrdquo For me I would love it if the person viewing my painting

caught their breath and gasped at the beauty of Godrsquos world that I had

hopefully captured in paint The ldquowhatrdquo of painting could be answered with a

subject or topic such as portraits or landscapes or pets or flowers but I

think Englersquos ldquowhatrdquo is a better deeper one

The next probing question Engle asks is ldquoWhat motivates yourdquo Or in other

words ldquoWhy do you paintrdquo I think this is at the heart of an artistic

temperament When I face this question I come up with answers like ldquoI just

UWS April Member Meeting

RECAP Lindey Carter

It was an evening of delight watching

Lindey Carter as she worked on a

very non-traditional painting surface

It was also gratifying to see how that

kind of watercolor painting can work

for the experienced hand Who ever

heard of painting with watercolor on

an acrylic primed surface Yet she

showed off the virtues of it very well

Lindey began her presentation with a

history of her beginnings as a young

girl in a large family trying to find her

place and discovering a way to deal

with the energy and chaos by

retreating as best she could into her

own world of drawing and

watercolor She shared a little about

the spiritual underpinnings that were

behind her skills and talent After

she married Lindey received her

post high school education at Weber

State and her degree from the

University of Utah She and her

husband have four children She

paints out of her home

Lindey uses threads of thought and

feeling that she gains from literature

Often what she is striving for is a

degree of balance and simplicity in

her watercolor paintings

Lindey calls herself a ldquobinge painterrdquo

In anticipation of an upcoming show

she will bring out the supplies and

basically take over the kitchen and

dining room She produces several

paintings at a time over a couple of

weeks to a month During that time

the family eats out or fixes their own

meals

While many who study Lindeyrsquos work

might say there is an Asian

influence itrsquos all really just her

finding ways to express what she

feels Any direct connection to Asian

or oriental influence is purely

coincidental

The Utah Watercolor

Society needs

volunteers like you

canrsquot help myselfrdquo Or ldquoI would be

incomplete if painting were not in my liferdquo

As you consider the how what and why of

your own painting what answers do you

come up with

This is my last Presidentrsquos Message and I

thank you for taking the time to read it Itrsquos

been a wonderful journey with you all See

you at our next meeting

When I first joined UWS-CVC I was mainly

interested in learning the techniques of

watercolor My previous efforts had been less

than successful My colors were washed out or

else I tried to use such thick paint that it must

have seemed I was thinking of oil paint (my

first love in painting) At any rate in UWS I was

delighted with all the opportunities to learn

technique demonstrations workshops and

instructional videos All good Essentially the

ldquohowrdquo of watercolor painting

But there are other and I think deeper considerations Nita Engle in her

introduction to How to Make a Watercolor Paint Itself talks about two of

these deeper questions The first is essentially ldquoWhat do you want your

watercolor to dordquo Or ldquoWhat response do you want from a person viewing

your paintingrdquo For me I would love it if the person viewing my painting

caught their breath and gasped at the beauty of Godrsquos world that I had

hopefully captured in paint The ldquowhatrdquo of painting could be answered with a

subject or topic such as portraits or landscapes or pets or flowers but I

think Englersquos ldquowhatrdquo is a better deeper one

The next probing question Engle asks is ldquoWhat motivates yourdquo Or in other

words ldquoWhy do you paintrdquo I think this is at the heart of an artistic

temperament When I face this question I come up with answers like ldquoI just

joined the Army for 25 years but
