Medium
Painting - Acrylic On Eucaboard
Description
16 x 20 acrylic painting on Eucaboard. This painting was done on April 9, 2012 to qualify for a special exhibit at the Toledo Museum of Art. I had to paint something that was influenced by the artist, Jules Olitski, for an exhibit with the Findlay Area Call to Artists for special exhibition honoring Olitski's Exhibition.
I just heard about the exhibition on Easter and waited till the next day before deciding to try to paint something. I got it painted, framed, and turned in the same day and was accepted into the Museum. I am also showing two other pieces, Wisdom and Evangel of Hope into the Exhibition.
Jules Olitsk was an artist who studied color and liked metalic paints. I also love brilliant colors and decided to paint my own impression of a redbud tree that had mesmerized me on Saturday, when I was at a park and saw a beautiful redbud tree. The sky was so clear with rich blue colors and the tree was just loaded with pink buds. I decided to reduce my painting to color only and let the viewer use their imagination to fill in the blanks. I used iridescent paints and metalic paints to capture more subtle nuances and variety of color, while keeping the colors brilliant and clean.

My friend Nancy Cupp painted these redbud trees to enter in a Juried art contestof Findlay Artists selected by the Toledo Art Museum to be on display att the Museum. It was to be in the style of Olitski . I am very proud of Nancy> I'm sure you can see why
