Mr. Daniel Walker, a teacher of visual arts at the Academy Charter Lower Elementary School Hempstead, donated this painting entitled: Large Painting of "3 Musicians":

"Harmony in Motion" - Capturing the rhythm and soul of musical expression, this painting portrays the unity and joy found within a trio of musicians.

Bill Hartman lived, fished and painted in Key West. He studied with internationally known watercolorist Dong Kingman. He was also a member of the Society of Illustrators and American Watercolor Society. His work appeared in newspapers and national magazines, including Field and Stream. He illustrated several children's books for a national publishing company as well as for a toy manufacturer.

His art was inspired by the elements of the natural world and his passion for the outdoors, especially sport fishing. These passions, took him around the world, provided his subject matter and color palette.

His watercolors, acrylic (and digital) artwork were not always representational his goal was to capture the intrinsic atmosphere of their location and reflect special moments in time and place and bring these to the viewer.

Monochromatic: A Scholar Series

One color. That was the whole assignment. No color wheel to hide behind - just value, shadow, and the full range that lives inside a single hue. It is one of the hardest exercises a young painter is given, because everything a painting usually borrows from color has to be earned through contrast instead.
