Lil Clinard bases her watercolors on many of the photographic images she and husband John have taken on their wide ranging travels. She seeks expression in a loose and impressionistic manner of brush stroke, texture, color, light and composition, rather than photographic realism, allowing the viewer to complete the picture. "Watercolors lend themselves to this style and approach perfectly" she says.
She and John enjoy painting together and support each other's very different painting techniques. Lil has shown her work in regional group exhibitions, galleries and juried shows winning numerous awards. Her work has been juried into the Knoxville Arts & Cultural Alliance National Juried Show for the past three years. One of her cityscapes won “Best of Show” in the 2008 Tennessee Artists Association Juried Show, and she was awarded “Best Watercolor” in the 2010 Fountain City Art Center’s Juried Show. She participated in Artclamation! in 2009, and ArtXtravaganza in 2010. She is a member of the Art Market Gallery and active as an officer of the Knoxville Watercolor Society, Tennessee Artists Association and Art Guild of Tellico Village. She also is a member of Fountain City Art Center, Oak Ridge Art Center, and the Arts and Culture Alliance.

John Clinard
Though an Oak Ridge engineer by trade for 30 years, John Clinard's interest in art has existed since an early age. "Encouraged by my mother, Dot, to begin pencil drawings and oils I was inspired and taught by Dixie Snapp starting at the age of thirteen. (Dixie Snapp, now deceased, remains Greeneville’s most famous artist.) Later at UT in Knoxville, Charles Kermit Ewing taught both my wife Lil and me art appreciation and art history." John is, nevertheless, a mostly self-taught artist who has been painting for over 50 years. "I focus primarily on oil painting using a variety of subjects. Some paintings are composed from photographs from TN and from places visited, domestic and foreign. My work is mostly impressionistic, though certainly representational, with my focus on depth and perspective, contrast, simplified palette, and non-complicated but interesting composition." John is a member of the Fountain City Art Center, the Arts and Cultural Alliance, the Tennessee Artists Association, and the Tellico Village Art Guild.
