Rena Vandewater

Opus 2021

Rudesheim, Germany

Oil/Box canvas

Artist Statement

Recently I have created paintings of memories recalling favorite places in the world I’ve traveled and spent time.  My husband Chet and I have been all over  Europe and in fifty of the United States including Alaska.  We rented a car in France, rode the trains and bicycles in Holland and Greece and took a boat ride down the Danube from Prague to  Budapest.  To tour the United States we rode together on our Harley Davidson motorcycle, me mounted behind Chet on the leather seat.   Traveling by oil paint is a fun way to revisit these memories.  Rena Vandewater  

My passion is color and oil painting. The result is hundreds of canvases I’ve created over the last 45 years.  I’m included in many public and private collections across the United States and a few in Europe.  I paint the way I paint to create a bountiful and beautiful world.  Helen Keller once said: “No pessimist ever discovered the secrets of the stars or sailed to an uncharted land or opened a new heaven to the human spirit.”  And Albert Einstein:  “The gift of fantasy has meant more to me than my talent for absorbing positive knowledge.”
