Gary Nichols Watercolors : Gary Nichols Watercolors

As both an artist and a golfer, I have a unique perspective on golf as art. I would describe my style of painting as expressionistic. I use color, light and shadow to try to have my paintings express a feeling rather than making a photo-realistic painting of the hole.

At the same time I realize that the details, such as the shape and placement of sandtraps, cart paths, berms and other physical features, must be accurate.

I have a fine arts degree from Washington University in St. Louis. I majored in graphic design with an emphasis on illustration. I started working in watercolors in the mid-seventies and exhibited in a gallery in Decatur, Illinois until I moved to St. Louis in 1985. After an interruption to concentrate on my graphic design career, I resumed my painting in 2005 combining my passion for painting with my love for golf. I now reside in Denver, Colorado.

I’m a member of the Colorado Watercolor Society
and the Missouri Watercolor Society.
I exhibit my work in select galleries and juried art fairs.
