Some paintings feel like music, others like energy. This one, as I painted it, felt like a poem.
The ground is a canvas board, with the canvas being heavily textured, in a loose weave almost like cheesecloth. I painted it with acrylic paints and inks, and the unusual surface allowed the pigments to migrate when they were applied in a loose, watery fashion.
The sleeping figure looks in harmony and balance with her surroundings. The light is diffuse and muted; the effect is one of meditative peace. The title, "Hush," is meant as a noun, rather than a verb. According to OneLook: "(poetic) tranquil silence."
"Hush", 20"x30" acrylics on canvas board. Available for $390.
