SKETCHBOOK

Nexus

ARTIST: JANICE KENNEDY | MEDIUM: ACRYLIC

“Although I started my art studies in watercolors, I have more recently chosen acrylics and mixed media as my favorite methods of expression. I’m especially drawn to bolder colors and texturing. “I am relatively new to art studies. I feel that I can grow as an artist by creating challenges for myself in subject matter as well as composition. If I can create an interesting piece that speaks to each viewer in a personal way, then I have accomplished my goal. “I challenged myself with a class in abstract art and found that I enjoyed it. This painting was titled ‘Nexus’ because it linked my new love of abstraction with an older passion: painting skies. The title is also significant in the transitioning planes of the painting which provide an interesting visual linking of parts.”

SEE IT FOR YOURSELF: THIS AND OTHER SKY-THEMED PAINTINGS ARE ON DISPLAY AS PART OF THE “SKY IMAGINED” EXHIBIT AT RINGGOLD ART AND FRAME GALLERY. THE EXHIBIT RUNS THROUGH JUNE 8.
