Today's inspiration is BALANCE!

 I am also inspired by COLOR! It is a joy to walk into the studio 

  and see all my paints waiting for me to get started.
This is where I find balance!

I was fortunate to have Wayne Thiebaud
as an instructor at UC Davis years ago. Below is a link to a
wonderful interview about his inspirations:

 "Water Lilies No.12"

Oil on Belgian Linen Panel

5" x7"

Work in progress

Just when I think the "Water Lily" series is losing it's interest along comes another one....I am amazed sometimes that 30 years have past by since my interest in painting "Water Lilies" began and my first painting emerged. To be fixated upon a certain subject matter is still a bit mysterious even too me...searching for what more I as an artist can find out about this imagery or what  creativity I might add to the image has been a long quest and one I hope will continue 

as my perspective changes with each discovery.

I also decided it was time for a larger piece in this series again and I am finally finishing up (I think?) "Yin and Yang". I hope you enjoy!

Oil On Belgian Linen Panel

This is a still life I set up. I had an interest in the shape of the Teapot in relation to the egg and other objects. The shiny aspect of the Teapot was another motivation yet different for my usual motivations in subject matter. It is in those moments between Creation and Completion.

It's interesting to think about the choices I have made or have not made. One made, decades ago, has been to enter more deeply into the artist's world, the inner sanctum where the soul rests, to commune and collaborate with it, and to attempt to paint from that place.

Just an experiment  I did using my photograph of clouds
then utilizing the cube wrap tool in CS5.

Now to learn how to animate this and create a device app
that includes my original artwork  for an Ipad.

Brynn Carroll

Brynn Carroll -  Yin Yang II -  Oil on Canvas - Diptych 26"x 72"

    
This exciting exhibition brings a seasoned painter to Chroma Gallery. Brynn Carroll moved to Huntsville Alabama from Northern California about a year ago and has been enamored with the sultry summer nights and slowed down pace of the southeast. Brynn was born in northern California and received her BA in fine arts from California State University of Sacramento. Shortly after graduating, Brynn became a full-time artist and has been painting for over twenty years. Her work has won numerous awards and is widely collected. In these new works, Brynn has captured exquisite moments in time or "snap-shots" of her environment.  She continues to be fascinated by the way light plays on water and floods over objects in its path. She often works with large scale formats in either oil or watercolor yet gives herself the freedom to explore other mediums and methodologies including sculpture. Brynn says of her work, "the meaning of color and shape make a more definite statement than words." We are please to introduce you to Brynn Carroll's water lily series along with her other new works created especially for this exhibition. Please come and meet the artist on Thursday night between 5:00-8:30pm. Brynn will be here along many of the other participating artists during the opening.
