BIO Gordon Bashant is a resident of San Diego, after retiring from a surgical practice in Utica NY. He began painting about fifteen years ago taking watercolor classes at Munson Williams Proctor Institute in Utica . He has continued studies since moving to San Diego and has worked with various artists here and in San Miguel de Allende in Mexico. He works primarily in transparent watercolor but also does some work in acrylics and mixed media. His style is expressionistic but based on realism.
