In New York I jumped at a chance to see Meredith Pardue's show Nova, Supernova at Kathryn Markel Fine Arts. I tell you I did not want to leave that gallery, but to stay, surrounded by her paintings. That's the feeling I get sometime with flowers and certain landscapes (I really felt it in New Mexico) and the ocean. I want to inhabit, really inhabit that space, let the leaves, petals, water, pink hills, colors, become part of who I am.
I have admired her painting via the internet, and expected it to be more watery, but they are actually quite textured. You can see a short vimeo of her working here.
I can see why you didn't want to leave. these are beautiful. thanks for the introduction xo

Her blend of translucency and opaqueness is masterful. (mistrissful?) Ha ha, spellcheck keeps changing that to mistrustful.
DeleteMy interest was piqued by the image you Instagrammed last week. I, too, expected they'd be very transparent. Her color palettes are really beautiful. After watching her video, I'm left wanting much more. I could watch her paint forever. Thank you for the introduction.
ReplyDeleteThere is another vimeo of her painting: http://vimeo.com/67889199

Oh! I understand you.
