Hello Everyone, hope you are having a great day!
Mapped Out #2, 36" × 48", acrylic soft-pastel on
stretched canvas, 2017 |
I love nature especially where I live because we are surrounded by fields of fruit. We get to see them blossom in the spring & the leaves change colors throughout the fall. I’ve been doing a lot of gardening lately; planting/transplanting roses, planting succulents, pruning & keeping up the yard. The list goes on... I am currently working on creating a cactus themed raised bed. The borders are made out of rounded bricks. I also have been looking at a lot of different types of art on Instagram, Youtube & Pinterest. I came
across an Heather Day, an artist that takes nature & transfers is on to a canvas. Her artwork is very expressionistic as she combines colors with textures to create some wonderful works of art. Some techniques that she uses remind me of the way Jackson Pollock used to paint. They both use their entire bodies to manipulate the paint as it's dragged across the canvas. Mapped Out #2 is one of my favorite artworks that she has made so far because of the splattering, staining & scraping techniques that she used in this piece.
I found this video to be very inspirational, hope you do too!
