Rushing, Haley2016-03-222016-03-222016-02-04http://hdl.handle.net/10267/27128This image was photographed and uploaded to DLynx in the Visual Resources Center during spring 2016.Artist's statement: "This painting is a derivative of a still life constructed of leaves, sticks and moss. The goal of this painting was to paint a realistic image of the still life with an unnatural, monochrome color palette. The light shade of purple as the background flattens the image as a whole, discrediting the areas within the still life that depth could very easily be perceived. The leaves at the bottom are heavily worked and rendered in regards to color gradation and starkly defined edges. Additionally the sticks and moss in the upper portion are created from very quick, layered marks with a darker color palette. This juxtaposition is successful where the two directly meet. However, having most of the leaves on bottom and the sticks on the top create an unintentional division in the piece that could have been avoided by interspersing the different painting marks throughout the whole work. While the end product of the different textures in the painting may not have successful, the exploration of texture became very important to me as a painter and is something that will continue to be explore in my pieces."
