Steve Hanksis recognized as one of the most talented watercolor artists working today.
The detail, color and realism of Steve Hanks' paintings are unheard of in this difficult medium.
Hanks calls his style emotional realism.
Backlighting is also a signature element of his style.
Sunlight has become one of my favorite subjects.
Im fascinated by how it filters through things, how it floods a whole room with color.
Often my paintings are really more about sunlight than anything else.
Art for the Parks has honored his work with many awards since 1989.
