Artists Describing Their Art:
Lisa Mee - I transform vistas, figures, abstractions and still lifes by using spatial differentiations. My color-saturated paintings resonate with immediate emotional impact to convey an opulent stained-glass effect on canvas of mosaic-like patterns and light. I gather patterns found in nature water currents, geological forms such as stones, shells, skies, forests, flowers. IaEURtmll see a sunset streaming with rich colors. Or, I will be struck by luscious floral arrangements in huge pots. Gorgeous color combinations form the beginnings of my work. I begin by mixing matte mediums with different paint colors. I never know what hues will emerge. That is my joy to see the unexpected unfold. Beautiful tints manifest that I never would have gotten out of a paint tube. I create very spontaneously. When the paints are laid out, I integrate them together. While a canvas is sopping wet, I quickly apply a sheet of paper to the surface and carefully press it down. With great care, I lift the paper off the surface. Or, Ill leave the paper on the canvas if I like the veil-like effect. Often, I sketch a composition on to the canvas, particularly tree scenes and landscapes since they are ...

Dmitri Ivnitski - I am artist and scientist living in Florida. Painting has always been a central part of my identity as a human being. I am drawn to bold, vibrant colors to create paintings that express my love and passion for life. My paintings are realistic, impressionistic and pop in style. Color plays a major role in my life. My inspiration comes from shining sunsets, charming forests and colorful floral fields. By using oils I work the canvas with brushes to create strokes with lots of texture. I offer original paintings as well as limited edition prints. In 2017-2019, my artworks have shown in numerous Art shows and been chosen twice as a winner in Art Competition, sponsored by Hallandale Cultural Community Center and Jazz Fest Poster Contest, Sunny Isles BCH, Florida. In 2017 and 2019 I had Solo Exhibition. My other passion is a science. I am author of 110 scientific articles, 4 chapters in books, and several patents. This year I have started to use an acrylic painting. I found acrylics gave me great flexibility, thin transparent washes like watercolors enabling me to build up multiple layers of color and thick impasto swathes creating texture and movement. All my ...
Wendy Goerl - Time governs both my subject and my style. I am attracted to subjects in ephemeral states--the fall color that will be gone next week, the carnival that will move on in a few days, the kaleidoscopic sunset that will fade in a few minutes--and often revisit subjects to explore how they change through time. My style comes out of an ongoing negotiation between my desire to capture every hyperrealitisc detail and my fear that I'll rework a painting to destruction trying to resolve miniscule innacuracies that become amplified as I add increasing detail. The point of compromise is as individual as the subjects I paint. I work a la prima as much as I can, because the more time between the first and last strokes of a painting, the more likely I am to change modes at sometime during the creation....
