This painting gives an impressionist view of a warm, friendly, mediterranean mountain village. Abstracted in lovely Italian-like olive green colors and a splash of blue. Inviting you to come and visit!
In my paintings I use acrylic paint, pastels, oil bars and pencils. I paint, scratch and draw, repaint again. Underneath my work are lots of layers. It is a time consuming process since I keep going until I feel the work is balanced. Painting and drawing merged in my work. I discovered that this combination of techniques really suit me. Also I use lots of ‘whites’, which if you watch closer actually are no whites because the underlying colors shine through and give them a lovely depth. This way of working gives me enormous freedom to discover and express myself.
