M. Donna Good, associate member of The Texas Watercolor Society and River Art Group Gallery in historic La Villita on the San Antonio Riverwalk, is an artist known for her exquisitely detailed floral watercolor paintings and avid jigsaw puzzle enthusiast. Born in 1941 in Muskogee, Oklahoma, Good uses references and ideas that are so integrated into the process of the composition of her work that her viewers find themselves captivated and transported by them.
By exploring the concept of landscape in a nostalgic way, Good investigates the dynamics of landscape, including the manipulation of its effects and the limits of spectacle based on our assumptions of what rivers, mountains, and flowing fields of grass means to us. Her layered translucent watercolor works are a drawn reflection upon the art of painting itself. Through her travels with her husband and traveling buddy, Bob, to Texas, California, Montana, and Oklahoma to research family genealogy and fly-fishing, she has found inspiration along the way.
Good's paintings establish a link between floral and landscape’s reality that while imagined by its conceiver, these works focus on concrete botany that determines our existence. Appearing to present a factual reality, her color palette swirls an illusion fabricated to conjure the realms of our imagination.
