Nelson Boren

Nelson Boren is a painter best known for his vivid, naturalistic watercolors of traditional western American motifs. Working from his photographs of farms and ranches, Boren highlights the varied textures of his chosen subjects. To further enhance the textured appearance of his paintings, he wets the paper to wrinkle the surface and finishes the work with an array of tools, including wire-bristle brushes and razor blades.
