new technique used... stayed with layers on layers then removed paint in parts with cotton rags. rubbing off, applying more, waiting days until mostly dried then scraping and rubbing again.
i enjoyed this and am very content with the result.
this started as an abstraction of geometric shapes ... thought it was to be sheets in the wind! As usual, in my fashion, i did a 360 and went with the mood of the moment and the brush. i am glad i followed
the brush's mood. i think i might attempt in much larger scale. This will be going to "Let There be Art" show at Columbus Museum in Georgia. SOLD
I moved to Charleston 20 years ago. With no previous training I decided to try painting. Acrylics first, easy clean up, then switched to oils, more freedom. I am inspired by the natural world around me. I love colors and shapes that I see outside, I try to make them come alive on my canvas. The sense of movement in my art is influenced by music, it is an essential element. Moving while I paint keeps the energy flowing. I use a palette knife to carve lines and shapes to construct a canvas full of movement. I love to build up layers of paint so just a sliver of the original peaks through. The blueprint of the landscape is secondary to the placement of the blocks of color. I am a member of the Charleston Artist Collective, a web-based business. I also show my work at Atrium Gallery in Charleston, SC. I paint in my home studio in the Old Village of Mount Pleasant, SC. I started painting to fill my walls...now I am an "artist in progress"
