Anne Ann Palmer Tuttle, American, 1923 to 2012, color etching, Autumn Whispers III. Signed in pencil, lower right. Titled in pencil, lower to the center, Numbered in pencil, 60 of 350, lower left. Annes primary interest is drawing, and in the early 90’s, she became part of a small group of artists who were exploring the emerging medium of colored pencil. The ability to combine her love of drawing and detail with color was appealing, and she spent eight years with the group and their instructor. Anne quickly came to appreciate colored pencil’s simplicity and versatility, and has found satisfaction in watching colored pencil grow in popularity and become an accepted medium in art shows and galleries. Anne strives for a minimalist approach, and a clean, uncluttered look in her artwork. Anne has a special interest in maritime art, and has found much inspiration in the New England and Florida coastlines. Shells, flowers, birds, and sea life are other favorite subjects. In addition to working in colored pencil and graphite, Anne creates delicate Silverpoint drawings, using a technique that dates back to the Old Masters. She also enjoys creating cloud paintings using alkyd oils, with beautiful Florida skies as inspiration. Anne is a member of the Colored Pencil Society of America, and The American Society of Marine Artists. Modern American and European Graphic Art Prints and Collectibles.
