| Biography | |
I work in acrylic and watercolor and enjoy the depth of color, the freedom and the exuberance of these mediums. When I paint, my hope is that I will create an image that evokes a mood or a memory and brings pleasure to the viewer.
J. Richard Secor has studied with and been influenced by the work of Dick Phillips, NWS, Tony Van Hasselt, AWS, and Judi Wagner. He owned the School Street Gallery in East Boothbay, Maine and has exhibited in numerous juried shows on the east and west coasts. |

| Style Impressionism |
|
| An art movement founded in France in the last third of the 19th century. Impressionist artists sought to break up light into its component colors and render its ephemeral play on various objects. The artist's vision was intensely centered on light and the ways it transforms the visible world. This style of painting is characterized by short brush strokes of bright colors used to recreate visual impressions of the subject and to capture the light, climate and atmosphere of the subject at a specific moment in time. The chosen colors represent light which is broken down into its spectrum components and recombined by the eyes into another color when viewed at a distance (an optical mixture). The term was first used in 1874 by a journalist ridiculing a landscape by Monet called Impression - Sunrise. |
