Doug Wildfoerster’s watercolor paintings are theatrical in nature. His paintings constitute a notebook of ideas—characters, settings, moods, impulses—for an improvised play. Each painting appears like a collage of past encounters meshed into a vibrant dream. To capture inspiration for his paintings, the artist keeps a journal consisting of images rather than words because as Wildfoerster puts it “images can express ambiguity in a much more satisfactory way than words can, at least for me.”
