Joseph Cowman - Whimsical Painting and Artwork
Joseph Cowman is a self taught artist from the Boise Idaho area. Joseph became interested in art as a young teenager and spent several years drawing in graphite. Inspired by such artists as Alan Lee and Brian Froud, Joseph decided to try out watercoloring. He immediately loved working in the medium and had a natural command of it, and consequently has spent the last few years working primarily in Watercolor. He enjoys both the challenges and rewards of working in the medium.
It is difficult to place Joseph's work into one particular genre as it is unique in it's style. Joseph draws inspiration from both the world around him, and maybe more often, peoples behavior and emotional response to their environment. Joseph enjoys being able to create images that are intriguing and thought evoking. He feels that his pieces may have different meanings for different people, and he hopes that each person who sees his art will study it and arrive at their own interpretation of the work.
