About the Item
"Skipper's Orders" is a beautiful original impressionist lakeside scene, depicting a family rigging a boat in the afternoon, on the lakeshore under the shade of an Oak tree.
Judd Mercer (b. 1982) creates landscape paintings that capture fleeting, dramatic moments of light to evoke a sense of awe and wonder. "Light is everything—my main ingredient, setting the tone and emotion of the scene," explains the Colorado native whose artistic journey began in industrial design before rediscovering painting while illustrating a novel. His distinctive process combines methodical planning with energetic execution: "I'm very methodical in planning, but chaotic in execution," using layered techniques where brushwork becomes as compelling as the subject. Initially self-taught in watercolor through intensive study of masters like Joseph Zbukvic and Alvaro Castagnet, Mercer evolved toward gouache influenced by Mike Hernandez, ultimately embracing oils for their depth and impact.

Judd Mercer
Judd Mercer (b. 1982) is a contemporary landscape painter whose work captures the nuanced interplay of light and form in natural environments. A Colorado native with deep connections to the mountainous terrain of his home state, Mercer works primarily in oil and gouache, employing both mediums to "tell stories through light"—a central tenet of his artistic practice. His distinctive approach features complex color layering and chiseled brushwork that creates a characteristic "chunky" quality, particularly evident in his rock formations. Mercer balances extensive plein air painting with digital composition planning to enhance dramatic elements. His journey began in industrial design before transitioning to visual art under mentors including Greg Manchess and Cynthia Sheppard. Mercer's achievements include recognition as a Laguna Plein Air Painters Signature Artist and awards including the Laguna Art Museum/Bob Braun Presentation Award. Through his work, he aims to capture the awe-inspiring, ever-changing dynamics of landscapes and the profound experience of being in nature.
