Artist Commentary: “In the Moonlight” is an Acrylic on canvas and is a close up of a horse’s face. I love the direct, gentle gaze of this horse and feel the light reflected in the eyes draws the viewer into this painting. Also, I enjoy it's simple, bold shape and the negative shapes around it. The horse is the color of burnt sienna, and there is a soft light outlining the shape of the head and back of the neck and mane. I used a vivid orange combined with soft white for these highlights. To contrast the warm colors of the horse and to help establish a mood I chose rich tones of turquoise blues and deep violets for the background and shadows. To tone these bright colors down, I blended in a neutral gray.
Artist Commentary: Portrait of a Bear" is the first of a series of my fascinating new subject, the bear. I have great admiration for the bear and consider them an excellent totem animal, so I find them to be great to paint. I first layered and glued squares and rectangles of handmade papers onto the entire canvas to begin this painting. You can still see this textured pattern under the layers of colors. I love the textures you can get from this technique. My palette for this piece is predominately blue/green, accented with iridescent gold. Finally, I added a bit of white on the snout of the bear for the focal point. I was inspired to capture the soulful and maybe even sad expression on the bear's face, which for me, evokes an emotional response and understanding of the bear.
Artist Commentary: "Romantic Encounter" is about the color red, the color of passion, love, and desire. I enjoy the emotional impact of this color without any other reference. While creating this abstract painting, I focused on the interactions of a variety of bold shapes of different sizes, contrasting color combinations, and soft and hard edges. Also, during my process, I turned this painting occasionally to change, take away, or add something. By doing this, I found and solved problems and also ensured that it works in any direction.
Artist Commentary: I began "Perpetual Presence" by a layer of squares and rectangles of handmade papers with Gesso. Then, once this layer dried, I added the colors red, magenta, and orange in various tones, shades, and shapes. I did not plan to add the form of the horse initially, but the horse began to appear and became part of the composition during my process. The horse brought a magical quality to this painting that I could not achieve with just colors and textures. Still, this painting is equally about the warm, exciting reds to form the horse's shape and violet and blues to define the horses' shadows. Then, for the highlights, I applied a soft white.
