"Remembering Arches National Park" mixed media painting by Sharon Lynn Williams

"Remembering Arches National Park", mixed media and collage, 12 x 16"
SOLD

In the winter time, I often will work from plein air oil paintings I have done to create colourful work in mixed media. This is one such painting. I was trying to capture the incredible reflected light that happens underneath the amazing natural arches in Arches National Park. Beginning with a random sprinkling of collage elements, allows unexpected things to appear and become part of the painting, something that I always enjoy, as it really allows me to be creative.


Enjoy!

  3. This is lovely. The first impression I had was the beautiful light under the arch, and the deep blue shadows.

  5. Sharon, you are an amazing artist. I love the details in your paintings and those colors blend you powerfully. I got inspired by looking at this painting and tried to paint it like you but I couldn't get the same morning hue as you did.

  6. Thank you for the compliment. The secret is to glaze with transparent colours.
