Norton's Fine Art and Framing: Friday, 1 May 2009
May 1st Opening at 6 p.m.
Glenda Hares works in an impressionistic style that is instantly likable – not too realistic, not too abstract. There is just enough definition here without confining the viewer's imagination and sensual experience of the work. The most outstanding element here is Hares' splendid use of color. This is vibrant, yet softly saturated color. Pastels predominate, but they are never sugary, retaining a vivid richness that is actually quite masterful. Acrylic paint often shows as artificial and synthetic. The acrylic paintings in this exhibit, however, resound with a naturalness that is pleasing and surprising.
