Watercolors

A native of Colorado by several generations, Lionel was born and raised in Trinidad. Lionel's subjects are whatever attracts him at the moment. His mastery of drawing is evident in his frequent choices of architectural subjects, both rural and urban. The wonders of nature have also been preserved by Lionel in watercolors, from Rocky Mountain peaks to florals captured in a local garden.

 

Education

His interest in art appeared at an early age, but he did not begin serious study until after service in the U.S. Navy. Lionel studied art at Auraria Community College, and attended numerous workshops in New Mexico and Colorado with Joseph Boehler, Jose Sanchez, William Condit, Kim Mackey and others. Lionel continues studies at the Art Students League in Denver.
