Ripples in the pond

 

Increspature nell'acqua

Ripples in the pond

Ho dipinto con olii e ho composto rapidamente questo quadro.  Piu tardi ho fatto dei piccoli cambiamenti in modo che l'occhio dello spettatore verra ritirato ritmico nel centro.  Le increspature sopra sono su un piano di figura in movimento in avanti per distorcere la prospettiva.  Vernio con una pala, coltello e le mie dita che lavorano nel momento creando senza troppa pianificazione.  Spero che gli spettatori possano godere e sentirsi meravigliosi come faccio quando guardo l'increspatura di acqua!  Ma so ora che il quadro e completato, ha una vita propria e ogunuo che lo vede creera la propria storia o no.

I painted with oils and composed this painting quickly.  Later I made some small changes so that the viewer's eye will be rhythmically pulled back into the center.  The ripples above are on a forward  moving figure plane to distort the perspective.  I paint with a paddle,  knife and my fingers working in the moment creating without too much planning.  I hope that viewers may enjoy and feel wonder as I do when I look at water rippling!  But I know now that the painting is completed, it has a life of it's own and each one who views it will create their own story or not.

SHORT BIOGRAPHY OF THE ARTIST

Growing up in the Canadian countryside and surrounded by a large family and supportive country community, I was encouraged to draw at the age of three. For two years I studied with the Master, Robert E. Wood and he taught me the foundation of oil painting and composition. I have been influenced by the Fauve, Kandinsky, O'Keefe and more! Later, I attended Emily Carr College of Art and Design and graduated after four years full time with an Interdisciplinary Major in 1988. I was very fortunate to have had 93 solo and over 130 group exhibitions. My works are held in the Museums, the Paul Getty III Foundation and private collections around the world.
