Rick
Mundy is an accomplished artist in transparent watercolor and specializes in
realistic landscapes and seascapes.
His most popular works feature the beaches
and lighthouses of Long Island as well as coastal scenes, docks and shipyards. A
New York State Licensed Guide and avid outdoorsman, Rick has also captured, in
paint, the forests, rivers and lakes of the Adirondacks.
Rick
has spent much time in Alaska and is a member of the Alaska Watercolor Society.
Because of the expansive beauty of "the Last Frontier" Rick has been
compelled to sketch and paint many of its scenes, both summer beauty and winter
grandeur.
Rick resides in Setauket, Long Island,
New York and maintains a gallery and studio in his home.
