Statement: An admirer of Picasso, Winslow Homer and Van Gogh, Perkins is equally inspired by the natural world and the forms and textures of nature. It has been said that his paintings glow incandescently, sunlight warming the clear, bright colors he favors in his watercolor work. He has painted from Hong Kong to Norway, capturing sampans and fjords with his brush. He has also traveled Europe, Asia and Mexico painting.
