About the Artist:
Bucks County painter Keith Mountford is a fine artist whose style can best be described as “watercolor realism.
     Unlike many watercolor artists, Keith chooses to tightly control the medium, producing exacting landscape and  architectural renderings with the subtle tones that are unique to watercolor.Through a methodical technique of 
 layering and blending, he uses a simplified palette to bring mood and atmosphere into his paintings.
     Born and raised in Staffordshire, England, Keith came to the United States in 1993 at the age of thirty-one.  He was inspired by the new culture and began to rediscover a dormant creative talent.
In 2003, he experienced a devastating set back in his life when he was diagnosed with a Brain Tumor which affected his balance and hearing. Radiation therapy was used to stem the tumors growth. Keith buried himself into his art, which along with his families support helped him through those dark days.
Since 1996 Keith’s work has been collected by a loyal clientele. His work is in private and corporate collections around the world."

Much of the landscape that is Bucks County and the Architecture of Philadelphia and Colonial America.
