The Art of "WOW"!
Expect the Unexpected! Whatever Happens, Happens! These are some of the core themes associated with Turner’s works of art. Motion, dance and calming chaos are blended together with spontaneous, unpredictable and extraordinary movement, to create enthusiastic works of art. Turner's artistic style uses color and movement to produce drama, exuberance, extravagance and sensuality. Turner describes his artistic style as “Abstract Enthusiasm”!
“My new “WOW” series should excite the senses. When my work is viewed, I want people to experience the joy and energy that went into creating these works. My art is my way of demonstrating my love and passion for color and movement. That’s why I created the “WOW” series; thought-provoking works of art with hidden and sublime thoughts and comments. Many words in the English language can have multiple meanings, but “WOW” is an explosion of both visual and emotional senses!”
Turner’s style of painting draws inspiration and parallels from the mid-20th century American Abstract Expressionism movement, with an admiration for the works of Jackson Pollock, Franz Kline and Willem De Kooning. Turner adds his love and understanding of color from his years growing up around his mother’s beautifully and masterfully looked-after gardens, admiring the wonderful, bright and bold colors of nature. Turner’s love of working with liquid enamel paint allows him to capture energy and movement that are difficult to reproduce with other media and allow him to express an action that is most evident in his current “WOW” series. Colorful juxtapositions of shape and the spontaneous unpredictability of dropped and often directly thrown paint define a free-spirited style of expressiveness matched only by Turner’s tremendous outlook and his joy of life.

Weldon Studio is my new Carmel art studio where I relax and paint the hours away to loud music and an occasional cold beer. I have a joyous time and I love the break from running my real estate business, my cars and the charitable organizations I devote time to. Painting has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I love it!
Studio North is my new "man cave" where I layout and create my oversized photo murals of my life memories with family and friends. When I’m not running my real estate business, I spend evenings and weekends going through my photo binders and thousands of photographs to create visual stories that I can frame and put on my walls. I’m known to have small gatherings in Studio North for family and friends for dinner or to watch the Pacers or Colts on the big screen TV.
Stutz Studio was my “home away from home” on the top floor of Stutz II for almost 30 years. After a long day in the office managing the 400,000 square foot Stutz Business and Art Center, I could jump across 10th Street and relax in my studio. It had all the comforts of home and often I’d spend weekends and rainy nights painting into the late hours. It’s here where I created my “WOW” series.
