About E M Sutherland

E M Sutherland Growing up in the small southwest Texas town of Uvalde gave me a real appreciation for the rural country life in the semi-arid southwest. I was always enjoyed seeing the homes, building and tools that people used to make a living ranching and raising livestock. During my upbringing I knew I enjoyed seeing the barns, pens, pickup trucks and tractors used to work on ranches. Since my father ran service stations I was interested in subjects like rural country stores, old gas pumps as well as the old vehicles, and other related equipment. The graying of the cedar fence posts, old lumber on the barns, the rusting barbed wire, and tin roofs and dry leather of saddles were things I enjoyed seeing. I also enjoyed seeing and being around the livestock and wildlife. Public schools in Uvalde did not have art curriculum when I was in public school there. Later, while at Southwest Texas Junior College, he was interested in art, particularly drawing, so he entered Art School at the University of Houston for one year. But Vietnam was active in 1966 and he joined the Navy and became a Hospital Corpsman so his art was put on hold. Although my art took a back seat to my work I still did a lot of drawing but not as much as I sometimes wish I had. After I returned from the Navy, I became interested in environmental issues and I finished college with a degree in Forestry. After college my “day job” became dominant and painting took a back seat to my work as an environmental specialist working for the State of Texas and private consulting firms. During the 1980’s I continued to produce pen & ink drawings of whatever got my attention, including wildlife. Then I discovered watercolor and how well it could render the subjects I found that interested me. As my environmental career was winding down, in 2012, I again took up my pencils, pens and brushes and got back to my passion with art. Watercolors combined with pen & ink and other media became my favored media because they allow for rich textures and colors I find to produce realistic subjects. While watercolor is my favored medium to paint whatever subjects I like, I often mix watercolor with pastels or acrylic paint. Primarily, I still like to paint subjects of rural Texas and small towns as my own way of documenting places that are slowly disappearing. In addition, I paint scenes of Vietnam in 1968, from reference photos taken when I was served with the Marines as a medic. Plus I paint subjects and places that excites me enough to want to paint them.
