{"title":"Will Bullas","description":"\u003cp\u003eWill Bullas (American, b. 1949) is the rare fine artist who sets out, first and foremost, to make people laugh. Born in Ohio and raised in the Southwest, he was studying art and drama on scholarship at Arizona State University when he was drafted into the Vietnam War — where his first \"commissions\" were pencil portraits of fellow soldiers to send home. Returning to civilian life, he earned a degree in oil painting at the Brooks Institute of Fine Art in Santa Barbara, studying under landscape master Ray Strong, and there met his wife and fellow artist, Claudia. The couple settled in Carmel, California, the seaside art colony he still calls home.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWit, Watercolor \u0026amp; the Animal Pun\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBullas works chiefly in watercolor — a notoriously unforgiving medium where there is no painting over a mistake — to create whimsical animal characters paired with sly visual puns and one-line titles. The model may be a frog, a flamingo, or a fat cat, but the subject is unmistakably human: vanity, ambition, romance, and folly, gently skewered. The craft underneath the comedy is serious, and his control of the medium is total.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCollecting Will Bullas\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA signature member of both the American and National Watercolor Societies, he received the American Watercolor Society's Mario Cooper \u0026amp; Dale Meyers Medal in 2007. His good-natured wit has made his signed, limited-edition prints among the most collected of any contemporary humorist — art that earns a smile every time you pass it.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"will-bullas-a-quarter-to-three-stretched-canvas-print-signed-numbered-15-75-59a","title":"Will Bullas \"A Quarter To Three\" Stretched Canvas Print Signed Numbered 15\/75","description":"\u003cp\u003eA roguish wit animates Will Bullas's \"A Quarter To Three,\" a canvas print in which the artist's signature blend of painterly texture and deadpan humor invites the viewer into a quietly absurdist moment. Bullas has built a devoted following through his distinctive watercolor-inflected style and a gift for pairing animals with sardonic, often bourbon-soaked scenarios that manage to be both laugh-out-loud funny and genuinely accomplished as painting. This example is hand-signed and issued as number 15 from a limited edition of 75, presented on stretched canvas for a presentation that bridges the intimacy of a print with the presence of an original work. It is a fitting acquisition for the collector who insists that serious art need not take itself too seriously.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMedium:\u003c\/strong\u003e Canvas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdition:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15\/75\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSignature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Signed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece is offered as shown.
