River Art Festival, La Villita, October 7-8, 2006

ARTIST Bobbye Porter

 

Bobbye specializes in watercolors, from San Antonio Riverwalk scenes to florals. . .front-porch Americana to gorgeous fishing flies, both large and small. . .majestic mountains to Texas seashore.  Originally trained in oils by the late George Pinca, Bobbye gravitated to watercolor under the watchful eye of Finis Collins, developing her own style and tastes over the years.  A life member of the River Art Group and its former president, Bobbye also holds membership in several other art groups and conducts informal classes in watercolor.  Her works are part of collections throughout the United States.

Frequent trips throughout New Mexico, Colorado and Wyoming produce fresh new scenes and ideas, blending with an early youth of flyfishing journeys and the development of both traditional and specialized fishing flies with her late father, whose own fly-tying prowess is exemplified in many of Bobbye's watercolors.
