My love of the arts began early on in life and was greatly influenced by an inspiring photography teacher in high school. I began teaching myself to paint in 2019 and have had my work exhibited in numerous shows in the Detroit area. One of the joys of being an artist is looking at the world in totally different ways and discovering a painting or photograph in a million unexpected places. For inquiries: dominmark@yahoo.com

"Zermatt"
This is from a photo I found in a book called "1000 Places to See Before You Die." I decided to do it in watercolors and when it was done, I thought it looked a bit like a Japanese Woodcut. Quelle Surprise!

This is based on a screen grab I took from a wonderful movie with the same title. If you haven't seen it, I urge you to check it out. You won't be disappointed!

"BIC Drama"
Leaving work at the Belle Isle Aquarium last week, I witnessed one of the most spectacular sunsets of all time. And I especially liked the way it lit up the Conservatory! Bravo Mother Nature!

"Connemara"
Looking for some inspiration, I checked to the book "1000 Places to See Before you Die" out of the library. There were a ton of amazing photos in the book.
I decided to try painting a few of them in watercolors.
