About Scott

Baltimore City

With my "2 by 2" watercolor series of couple’s portraits my intent is to project the power of the individuals and the strength of the pair. The subject matter is the human self: how we see each other and how we want to be seen. Each painting began by observing pairs of people usually in public places.

    • SCALES

    I was thinking of this grouping as predators, but on second thought they have a more primitive commonality. They're all cold blooded and have scales.

    • PLANETS

    Watercolor roundels that juxtapose the infinite (the ever changing sky) with the finite (man's attempt to bring order in the world with patterns). Much like the UP IN ARMS series, this group began in 2013 and continues today.  While UP  IN ARMS plays with viewer's expectations about common objects, the PLANETS are meditative and unapologetically beautiful.

    • TARGETS

    The use of guns is so epidemic in this county that this series is dedicated to the victims of gunfire. But it also raises questions as to who are the shooters and who are the victims and what are the relationships between the two.  After I finished the painting, I went to an indoor shooting range and had each painting shot up.

    These paintings from the winter of 2017 were the culmination of my "Up In Arms" series of watercolors that bergan in 2013. They can be viewed on my website at: http://www.scottponemone.com/portfolio/up-in-arms-2/
