Framations: Saturday, 10 July 2010
Framations Art Gallery is pleased to announce new exhibits by regional artists Lisa Thomas and Linda Wilmes. These exhibits will open with a reception on July 10 from 1-4 pm. This reception as well as the exhibit, is free and open to the public. The exhibits will continue through August 8, 2010.
Lisa Thomas's drawings, primarily in colored pencil, focus on the details, often zooming in to highlight more discreet areas. She loves detail, even though she says the "the challenge of getting it just right" can be stressful. Thomas loves the results of blending and burnishing the colors to produce amazing effects like light and shadow, texture, and dimension. Most of her work is still life, but she also does commissioned pet portraits, and Celtic designs. The Celtic art is inspired by her family heritage, and of course, the detail of the complex design satisfies her desire for a good challenge.
After working in many different media, and for many years, Linda Wilmes has found the truest form of painting is direct from life, which is evident in the plein air painting process. There are no boundaries and no limitations, opening the door open wide for the creative process to work and grow. According to Wilmes, "As long as my artwork is evolving, the growth is evident in the finished painting. " The artistic process begins with an idea or vision to visually express the thoughts or feelings of the artist. The blank paper or canvas soon becomes the physical product of the minds’work. The artist leaves himself upon the canvas, woven through the colors of the paint, in the design, and the mood of the finished product. Wilmes demonstrates these techniques through her use of both Pastel and Watercolor.
