Inspiration: the life and beauty in my gardens/ woods Draw first outside. Layer upon layer of transparent watercolor applied w tiny brushes. Highly detailed, rich colors. My heart and soul
The emphasis in my modern impressionistic style is on the light effects in the landscape. Plein air & studio paintings in archival oils with thick brush & palette knife application. All works framed.
Original hand painted watercolor, encaustic, and acrylic compositions featuring abstract subject matter. The designs are from my minds eye, not from photos.
Oil paintings on wood panel. Rich in color & minimalism, the anonymity of familiar subjects encites the viewer to design their own narrative. Handwrought metal frames intensifies the impact of work.
Archival pieces of paper are painted and glued consecutively to a backing sheet resulting a slightly offset 3d effect. The finished piece appears to cascade once framed behind conservation glass.
My artwork is usually focused on colorful, vibrant landscapes painted with a bit of abstraction. Through layers and glazes, I use mainly bright and flat paintbrushes in the medium of acrylic and oil.
I paint in the traditional manner. I paint thick over thin. Sometimes I apply oil over acrylic. I use the palette knife also . I pay close attention to the focal point with detail and color.
I’m an acrylic painter that specializes in realistic-styled paintings on stretched canvas. I use soft-body or watered down acrylic paints to apply glazes and thin layers to emulate depth and vibrancy.
Watercolor is my primary medium, blueberries, birds, butterflies, flowers, and more from the natural world inspire me the most. I select recycled & vintage frames to complement each painting.
