As we all know, Maine has received a tremendous amount of rain this past June. But the Botanical Gardens in Boothbay haven't hurt. I painted there last Sunday in a wet paint event...and not having been before, quickly settled into a great spot on the path down to the fairy houses. It was a lovely day with some unsettled weather...and was challenged to compose a painting where all of the natural forms and greens spoke very different languages. With only less than four hours to make things work, I must have been half crazy to choose the composition I did. However, I did end up happy with it and had a lot of fun! Come by the studio and see it.
IN THE STUDIO With Artist Hélène Farrar. "Painting is a source of endless pleasure, but also of great anguish." (Balthus) Come see here what I am playing with in my mind and the colors I push around on paper, panel, and otherwise. You'll see here how I work in many paint mediums, not limited to oil, encaustic, and acrylic... Ready, set, go! Let me know what you think at helene@helenefarrar.com
