An Arts Passport

Joseph Zbukvic is one of my favorite watercolor artists. 

He’s won over 200 awards and accolades. His paintings are, needless to say, captivating.

Zbukvic also does plein air painting–painting on location. The moment passersby see him working, they’re instantly drawn in, hooked. 

About this phenomena where total strangers instantly let their guard down to ask him about his work, Zbukvic said, 

Painting is a passport to society.

Art has a sort of instant way to build trust with others.
