Evening Lagoon, 24x36" Oil on canvas
©Helen Read
Much bigger in size - and maybe bolder than I usually paint - this painting has been in progress over the past few weeks. And now, I'm calling it finished! There's always some satisfaction in coming to the end a work... and larger ones that take longer magnify that feeling.
I've been sensing a desire for some changes in my work in the previous months. I desire to show more color, more vivacity, more joy in immersing oneself in the beauty of nature. More delight in the Creator who gives us such beauty to enjoy. I also have been looking for more freedom - freedom to interpret and imagine - freedom of brushstroke and expression. This painting has allowed me to go in that direction.
It is framed in a contemporary black wooden frame and will be ready to ship after an upcoming exhibit.
