Steve Bryant’s painting, Cactus with Wild Flowers, reflects his curiosity about Impressionist paintings that utilize simple, broad brush strokes to create a sense of light while defusing the more realistic image. Like his other works, he creates water color paintings inspired by his own photography.

Bryant has been a photographer most of his life. In 2015, he began a drawing series inspired by the paintings of Wassily Kandinsky. Eventually he employed his colorful drawing to copy frames from Buck Rodgers comics. From there he moved on to drawing photographs from books, including Chinese architecture and Japanese wood block prints. He is currently creating a painting series on graffiti in New York City.
