The Artist: A Tribute to Charles Reid


Contributed by Yvonne Moss

I read about his death in an artist’s magazine. It moved me.

I attended a workshop led by him I’m my home town early in his career. I didn’t know he taught workshops in Europe and USA. He was that well-known.

I hadn’t realized his impact on my life until I read about his demise.

He was the influence (inspiration?) for my own impressionistic watercolors and helped me develop my own style of painting with feeling. He was the starting point and made me more confident.

He was only one year older than me which brought home how lucky my life had been (but made memore conscious of my own mortality).

What he did for my art was marvelous to say the least.
