Loran Creech Watercolors

 

 

Loran Creech, a native Missourian, was born in St. Charles. His primary medium is transparent watercolor and occasionally works in pen & ink. He enjoys the hidden "surprises" that turn up in watercolor and likes the graphic values an infinite degree of detail available through pen & ink.

Most of his life was spent in Carlsbad, New Mexico and it was in New Mexico that he was encouraged by his art instructors to pursue a career in the fine arts.

His work has been shown at the Carlsbad Museum and Art Gallery for a one-man show and exhibited at the Mill Atelier Gallery in Santa Fé, New Mexico. He was commissioned to paint three life-size fiberglass horses for a New Mexico statewide project, "The Trail of the Painted Ponies".

In Missouri, his work has been featured in a one-man show at William Woods University, Fulton, Missouri, and at The Garrett Gallery in St. Louis where he took "Best of Show" with his watercolor, "That Old House…Enroute to Columbia". The same entry took the "People's Choice" award at a Jefferson City exhibit.

In 2004, he won first place honors at the Versailles Palm Sunday show. In May 2004, he won both "Best of Show" and first place in the Professional Watercolor Division at the 2004 Jefferson City Adult Artists Exhibit.

His work was accepted into "Watercolor U.S.A.", one of the country's most prestigious watercolor exhibits in Springfield, Missouri in 2001 and again in 2002 for "A Pile of Pumpkins". Most recently, his watercolor "City by the Bay" was accepted into Watercolor USA 2004.
