SOLD - 70. Adele Webster - "Sunbeams Linger - 4" - 12x12"

My work takes its root in my graphic arts training and my constant endeavour to break images down to their most basic form to communicate clearly and precisely but in the most beautiful way. I attempt to capture nature’s perfect landscapes and cloudscapes in a joyous and peaceful way using my love of colour and unique contemporary abstracted painting style. 

The world can be a busy and chaotic place. My hope is that these pieces will bring the viewer a sense of calm and perhaps the minimalist landscape will evoke a dream-like memory that one can escape into while enjoying the playfulness of the abstracted peaceful vista. Many of my pieces are created from memories of travel and happy times during childhood.

I layer washes of very diluted acrylic paint over each other. It’s not until the next day when the layer is dry that I will truly know the colour that will appear, how it has settled into the colour below or the wood grain. I completely embrace this mystery and I truly look forward to walking through my studio door the next day to see what magic has taken place overnight.
