Watercolors by Jim Aubele

I showcase my portfolio of watercolor portraits, family scenes, animals, and places that have stayed with me. My goal is not just to record a likeness, but to capture feeling, atmosphere, and the small moments that make a subject worth painting.

After earning a Fine Arts degree from Indiana University of Pennsylvania and a Commercial Art degree from The Art Institute of Pittsburgh, I spent 37 years working in marketing. When I retired in 2019, I finally returned to what had been waiting for me all along: painting in watercolor.

This site is a collection of that work.

My Gallery space is designed to share my watercolors. Interested in a custom watercolor?  I welcome commission inquiries for portraits, family scenes, pets, and meaningful places. Send me a message below and, if you’d like, attach reference photos so I can learn more about your idea.
