ABOUT THE
ARTIST
Ronald Pratt was born and raised in
Detroit, Michigan where the change of seasons is dramatic and influence the
ambient light and color. This change of seasons had a profound influence on his
artistic development and his perception of light and color. He quickly learned
how important these two elements are in affecting mood in a scene. It is the
capturing of a particular mood through the careful handling of light and color
that he pursues in his watercolor paintings. Before he begins each painting,
the mood or feeling is established along with the specific lighting and color
palette that will best convey that sense. Only after this is decided will the
design and composition be worked out. This approach assures that each painting
will have a strong feeling conveyed by the play of light and color on a
particular scene.
Ronald began studying
architectural design at the University of Michigan but had his education
interrupted by a five-year military tour in the Navy. That service included
duty and travel in Vietnam, Hong Kong, Singapore, The Philippines, Sicily, Italy
and much of Europe. This international travel had a strong impact on his
appreciation of local art and drew him towards the artists of the regions.
After finishing his military tour, he completed his education at Cal Poly, San
Luis Obispo majoring in architecture but attending many art courses, including
watercolor painting. The next ten years were spent as a practicing architect
working both as a designer and construction administrator. But it was for art
he found that he had a boundless enthusiasm. Watercolor painting held his
fascination and he soon learned it was his passion. It was also during this
time that his wife, Patty, says he learned what a "mid-life crises"
was all about. In 1991, Ronald became a full-time watercolor painter and
instructor.
