Known for: Sailing ship, seascape-surf
Biography: Vickery felt that painting nature needed to be done by working directly with it, he said, "Going to the source" was required. Photographs give a false interpretation as to how the eye sees light. A photo often makes the dark areas of water appear flat; without depth. And, bright areas become equally uninteresting, visually. The artist develops an intimate relationship between self-understanding and the subject matter as they go to the source. Vickery often commented, saying about the relationship between light and water, that the light would hit the moving water and refract accordingly. And that much of the color of the sky would influence the color of the water. He realized the limitations of paint when considering the range of light, and became excited about the creative possibilities; pushing paint further, and grateful for developing even greater theoretical knowledge.
