A Fascination
With Light

MICHAEL REARDON
WATERCOLORS


After a long and successful career as an architectural illustrator, Michael Reardon in 2005 received the Gabriel Prize from the Western European Architecture Foundation, which included a three-month residence in Paris to study some aspect of French classical architecture. He chose as his field of study the pre-20th century fountains of Paris, many of which he painted in watercolor.

The experience hastened Reardon's move toward fine art, and since then he has won wide acclaim for his remarkable abilities as a painter and teacher of watercolor.

"What attracts me is the interaction between the built environment and the natural world and the way light hits structures," he says.
