I am fascinated by light and color. I’m continually inspired by nature – the sky, the water, the light – and I find it hard to sit still when I see a great combination of all three. In this painting I used contrasting colors and the physicality of the dripping paint to create a sense of space in a watery landscape.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
by Kelly Johnston
The waters and skies surrounding my home on Bainbridge Island, Washington provide me with endless inspiration for my landscape-based paintings. My work combines bold color and loosely applied paint to emulate the poetic interaction of sunlight on the water’s surface as well as the abstract qualities of clouds and sky. Working with water soluble oils or gouache, I use fluid brushstrokes to evoke sunlit spaces and to highlight the organic patterns I find repeated in nature. less
