The Lakeway Bee

Watercolor paintings by Johnnie Fields will be on display at the Lakeway City Hall Art Gallery from February 14th through March 3rd.  The exhibit may be viewed during regular City Hall office hours; Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.  The Art Gallery is off the main lobby of City Hall, 1102 Lohmans Crossing.

Johnnie Fields grew up in Austin. He attended the University of Texas and received a Bachelor of Architecture degree in 1951. He worked in Austin until 1955, and then moved to Odessa, Texas and was one of the founders of Peters and Fields Architects.

While studying Architecture at the University of Texas, art was a yearly requirement.  Johnnie fell in love with watercolor after only two semesters. And, for the last 25 years, he has devoted time to painting, workshops, teaching and showing his work. Because of his love for architecture and his fascination with order and arrangement, most of his paintings involve old buildings in a landscape setting --- many of the subjects are of places where he has traveled.

Several years ago, Johnnie began teaching watercolor at the Lakeway Activity Center, and he quickly discovered how much he enjoys seeing others learn and develop as artists.

One of the nicest honors he received in his painting career was when The Permian Basin Art Museum asked him to do a one-man show.
