Linda Thompson
Acrylic & Watercolor
ARTIST STATEMENT:
Watercolor being a spontaneous medium with a mind of its own demands two personalities. One being able to let go and allow the medium to work its wonders and mingle with the water, and the other, the knowledge and master of control.
I use layers of transparent colors to overstate the intensity of cast shadows and light sources. The reference materials used from my pieces are composites of sketches and photos I've taken on trips to Europe, around the U.S. and close to home. I take my subject matter beyond the actual and add my own energy of space and light. My paintings are a moment of pleasure and a means of bringing it home to share a "visual sigh."
