I am fascinated with light; how it is reflected, attenuated, refracted etc. Add color and it’s a creation of animation and magic! I like to take ordinary scenes and let light transform them.
This painting is on paper adhered to a cradled wood base, allowing me to utilize the depth of the paper and the top layers of the wood.
My Oil Pastels on Paper paintings are made using several techniques. Most are created without brushes or tools, just the oil pastels and my fingers. By rubbing and smearing the colors on to the paper, the pieces are a combination of painting and drawing allowing me to “coax” the images out of the color. Thus, colors and images are woven into the fiber of the paper.
