In my oil on cradled wood painting "Cherry Blossom Rain - Kyoto", a woman lifts her red umbrella against the Spring rain as she walks along the flagstone streets in the Gion district of Kyoto, Japan. Gion, a center of traditional arts and entertainment, is lined with wooden buildings marked by hanging lanterns. Like a scene from a film, the past merges with the present.
Notes on Technique:
Ghosts of earlier ideas appear within my artworks and combine with other transparent moments to create a semblance of movement, of time passing. I build a combination of shadow and illumination in each painting to create a sensation of light emanating from the work. I work with oil paint and usually create at least one color in each painting from ground pigments mixed by hand with linseed oil. Linseed oil has the propensity to grow more transparent with age and visible traces of earlier painted marks gradually appear because of this tendency - called pentimenti. I embrace this eventual outcome in my work and incorporate planned and unplanned pentimenti in my process.
"Cherry Blossom Rain -Kyoto" is painted with the finest quality oil paints on a wood panel. The artwork is ready to hang.
