Ivy Creek in Rain. Martin Pasco, artist<\/p><\/div>\n

The Asheville Gallery of Art presents Water<\/em>, a special exhibit of oil and acrylic landscapes of Martin Pasco running through Tuesday, April 30. An opening reception will be held at the gallery on Friday, April 5, from 5\u20147:30 p.m.<\/p>\n

Exploring water as subject matter is relatively easy in Western North Carolina, where we are surrounded by lakes, streams and waterfalls. Pasco says he has no preference when it comes to what body of water he paints\u2014they all present the same challenge of \u201cgetting it right,\u201d he says. \u201cSometimes it\u2019s a color or value you want, but it doesn\u2019t look like water. Then you go back again.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lately, the artist has been considering how he chooses his media and why. \u201cI used to paint almost all oil and save the acrylic for my illustrations, but that has changed,\u201d he says. \u201cAt some point I realized that I don\u2019t respect acrylic as much as oil so I tend to paint more loosely with it. This has had the effect of improving the brushwork on all my pictures.\u201d Ultimately, he says it\u2019s hard to express what inspires him to use acrylic or oil. \u201cWhen<\/p>\n

I am thinking about a picture it is obvious to me that it could only be done in one medium or the other,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n
