Paige Bergmann “My body of work has moved through several different ideas, but they all relate to the theme of myself, more specifically, my memories and realizations that have made me the person I am today.” Lonesome Larry
Acrylic paint on canvas, white and black sharpies [44.5 x 73 cm]
“Lonesome Larry is based on the story of a single sockeye salmon that swam all the way from the ocean to Redfish Lake; the fish was appropriately named ‘Lonesome Larry.’ This acrylic painting uses unsaturated colors to give a cool, gloomy effect to the lake, rocks, and mountains. Bright reds and light pinks were used to capture the sockeye salmon’s brilliant color.”
