Dusky Winter Walk
$30014X11 Acrylic Painting on Canvas
About the Artist: "I live and paint in my studio, in the heart of the Scottsdale Quarter, in Arizona. I paint primarily with acrylics on canvas, paper, and board - both small works and large pieces that you can almost walk into. I love to create abstract designs, but they are always grounded and inspired by natural and urban landscapes, and sometimes the human form. My painting is physical and messy. I paint a bit like a sculptor, moving, adding, and scraping paint around the canvas. I find that technique results in striking contours made of heavy, opaque color and texture against thin, filmy transparency. I also make many of my brushes for effect, using feathers, ropes, springs, wire, and other desert, beach, and urban findings. One of my favorite painting tools is a butcher knife I grabbed from the kitchen over 20 years ago."
