Our speaker for this month will be Pete Morris.

Pete Morris is passionate about watercolor and has been painting
for more than 20 years. He works-full time as a graphic artist for a
silkscreen printing company and paints watercolors during his lunch
breaks, on the drive home from work, on weekends and evenings,
whenever he can squeeze it in. The result is hundreds of
watercolors painted each year. Whenever possible, he paints on
location, “plein air”, but he also does work in his studio. He is known
for his Rte. 66 series, paintings of scenes along the historic highway. Recently, Pete has had exhibits at
Vroman’s Bookstore Pasadena, Azusa Pacific University, Artshare LA in the Arts District, Archives Bookstore
in Pasadena and Sierra Madre City Hall. He posts his ongoing work almost every day on Facebook. Pete has
self-published two books. One is called Curbside LA, and is sketches of Los Angeles neighborhoods done to
and from work and during his lunch hour. The second is called Riding the Metro and is sketches of people
in their environment on Metro trains and buses. Both books are available on the blurb.com website and
can be purchased online in their store. Pete’s work can be seen on his
website, houseportraitsbypete.com. You can see Pete in action by viewing a video entitled Metro Da
Vinci on YouTube. You can contact Pete at petemorrisart@yahoo.com.
