| Postcard sketches for paintings 'Calm Waters I & II ©2017LisaLeQuelenec |
You might remember these two little postcards sized sketches that I posted last year. They have been patiently sitting on my pin board waiting to be given attention. I wanted to develop the idea of looking into the light and also of verticals in a seascape without reverting to motifs of landmass or sails etc. Another theme that seems to be developing in some of my work is an aspect of minimalism. How far can I take a subject and subtract detail without losing it's essence? I seem to go from one extreme to the other capturing small details of shells and feathers and the next the opposite where I am painting just tone and colour. It keeps things interesting...

I have to admit I am really enjoying using these strong blues again, it has been a while. Intermittent warmer days have arrived and the blues are making me feel that Summer may just be around the corner - or at least a warmer Spring.

ReplyDeleteYou have captured that look of seeing the blue sky and water while the sun makes you squint a bit from the light :)
ReplyDeleteLisa, I think the best word to describe your work is "elegant." Whether you are adding detail or subtracting it, the result is simply elegant!
ReplyDeleteThank you Judy!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Rhonda, thank you. That is exactly what I am aiming for - hurrah!
Wow Chris! That is quite the compliment. Thank you very much!
