The earliest of these pieces, “Cascading Pine” from 2018, was begun “en plein air”. Outside, using a very large pine tree on my property, I transferred the texture of the pine to the canvas with acrylic paint and rollers. After this spontaneous beginning, I further developed the painting in my studio where I introduced color pencil as well as other colors. I’m a colorist and almost always make use of a full palette. I found the spots of turquoise and orange began to “sing” as they interacted and conversed with each other.
