| "Vespers" by K.M. 18x24" on paper on Etsy here |
"Vespers", above, is one of my most recent paintings. I've incorporated very bright colors reminiscent of the short lived Fauvism art era where color meant more than anything else and subjects were abstract. I love art that comes from the soul or takes us to our souls. In this case, using a cathedral window with evening light conditions sets the mood for serious reflection while the bright colors portray joy and bliss. Iridescent paints spread thinly here and there add a mysterious tone. I did not use a paintbrush at all for this piece.
An artist continues to evolve and try new things. I do that to a fault, perhaps.
Right now, my style is trending more towards:
- fauvism
- abstract impressionism
- folk art
And I am currently interested in doing more:
- botanicals
- symbolism
- landscapes
My interest in 20th Midcentury style painting is waning somewhat and the period of art that I am now most fond of is that done earlier in the 20th Century from about 1900 to 1920.
