More about Fireball by Steve Hanks

Steve Hanks was an American painter best known for his watercolors which he described as ‘emotional realism’. Throughout his lifetime, Hanks did a number of jobs to support his art. That time spent in close contact with people led to a free-flowing, open style that at times verged on the sentimental. His work was long popular with audiences before it became popular with critics. His populist leanings didn’t mean that the painter lacked substance, just that his talent was in conveying simple, brilliant truths about life, love, and the family.
