Description This painting was inspired by a beautiful bird bath bathed in afternoon light that I happened to chance upon on one of my many walks exploring my new neighbourhood. I used the tonal approach for this painting and it was designed just to be an impressionist piece, however a bit of picasso (an artist I much admire) seems to have crept in.
Nicole Whittaker, bundaberg Member Since April 2008 Artist Statement I work intuitively, spontaneously, and symbolically with the elements of time and space. Strong colours, gestures and brushwork all come together in dramatic and energetic compositions of my own particular iconography. I am fundamentally interested in conveying all the trials and tribulations of life, love and the beauty that can be found in it all. The warm happy colours I choose often contradict the underlying fierce emotions I wish to convey.
