Thank you so much for this introduction to this artist's gorgeous work. I want to touch her paintings, particularly True Blue #6. So tactile and rich. Her charcoal of the moonlight on the trees is another favorite. I'm off to visit her website to see more!
ReplyDeleteI personally love True Blue # 6....Thanks Lisa.
DeleteI remember the charcoal drawings like Film Noir,feeling the need to look over my shoulder as the light disappears. "Throb" is another jolt of memory having seen it many years ago in Cecily's studio. Her work as an emotional landscape is somehow very satisfying, open not closed. "Now you feel how nothing clings to you" becomes a clearing in the wood.
DeleteThanks for your comment!
