Expressive, abstract mixed media art by Rachel James
Freedom was painted around the time of the Winter Solstice. I moved while I imagined flowing rivers and looking through woodland into the sun, inky dark sky and stars are seen. There is an ending and a beginning. There is lightness and darkness. I’m proud of its luminous light. I love the movement and energy I captured.
Today I sent out an email update on how my recent work is developing. If you would like to receive it too, please join my Art Supporters mailing list.
I took forward ideas and brushmarks from my previous paintings and mixed a dark grey again. I began with a circle form. I worked out colour by colour while the acrylic paint is wet, layering, spontaneously merging and mixing on the canvas, moving the brush slowly and purposefully to connect the paint with the canvas.
