William McWhorter Drawings and Watercolor Paintings
A seventh-generation West Virginian, McWhorter went to California in 1968. Upon returning from service in Vietnam, he enrolled at California State University. Here, he began his quest to create the illusion of light on canvas by studying the works of the impressionists and hiking the Sierra Nevada region where the dazzling light plays on the atmosphere and the mountains. “I was moved by the dynamic landscape of the Western States and became fascinated by the Hudson River artists and other early 19th century painters.” His paintings are sold in galleries nationwide and have been purchased by numerous private collectors. His work is in the corporate collections of Sheraton Hotels and Resorts, Marriott Hotels, AT&T, Houston Oil Minerals and Coldwell Banker, among numerous others. In 1993, he was one of the co-founders of Artists at Work, which is a cooperative gallery of local artists that is located on Davis Avenue in Elkins, West Virginia. In addition to his painting career, McWhorter has taught art at Davis Elkins College, in the Randolph County schools as an Arts Bank instructor and at the Randolph County Community Arts Center. He has served as coordinator for the ArtsBank program since 2002 and served as class coordinator at RCCAC.

Located in Boston, MA
Only A River's (Gonna Make Things Right), Original Impressionist Landscape Painting
9" x 12" (HxW) Pastel on Paper
Hand-signed by the artist.
A combination of an impressionist and expressionist landscape, Dina Gardner's interpretation of the light in this gesturally painted artwork gives an energy and vitality to the work, with the use of rich reds and purples to depict the mountain's rock face. The cool blue waters then re-center the work, grounding the composition and giving it a serene feel that calms the viewer.
Images with frames are examples only; this work comes unframed.
Artist Commentary:
I love music. I have it playing in my house and my studio all day long and I sing all day long. While traveling through the national parks in our RV this year, we were constantly listening to music and my head got stuck on an album from Bob Weir...
