Well, I finally made it! I'm all caught up with the neglected posts of the past few months. And while I haven't had anything particularly thought provoking or interesting to report here, hopefully I have presented a nice array of very talented artists and some incredible artwork for your appreciation. This latest entry in my recent
"Artist of the Month" selections, which brings us to the current, November artist, is
Sonny Perschbacher, a retired architect, and graduate of Kansas State University School of Architecture in 1967.
Generally, as I start to prepare for each months' edition of the
newsletter, I'll start off by checking in on the groups I belong to at
FineArtAmerica, and this month was no exception to that strategy. The
membership at FAA is massive, and narrowing the search to my specific
groups can still be quite an undertaking, since there may be anywhere
from 25 - 1000 artists participating in a specific group. But there, on
the very first page of the "Ink" group, I saw this incredible rendering
of the "Old Steam Engine" chugging along through a mountain pass, and
knew my search would be a quick one this time around.
Sonny had practiced for some 40
years before retiring in 2008. During that time, he produced numerous
residential projects as well as a considerable number of architectural
renderings. Lately, Sonny has been branching out, creating works in
pencil, pastels, and watercolors. His pen and ink works have been
ongoing for a number of years and he has done several very
time-consuming "pointillism" (dots only - no lines) pieces (i.e.
trains, clipper ships). As someone who works in ink, using the
pointillism technique, I am amazed at Sonny's attention to detail and
accuracy. To fully appreciate his work, click on the images here to
see the full-size versions in his FineArtAmerica Gallery. The link
above in the first paragraph will take you to his Profile page, and here is a link
to his website as well:
