Amy Donaldson Artwork Paintings in Nokomis, FL
Amy Donaldson artwork paintings in Nokomis, FL, are vibrant compositions that showcase her strong sense of color, space, and light. She achieves this effect by blending crushed, powdered natural pigments with oil paint and applying the mix in a freely expressive manner. Using non-traditional tools, she approaches the surface of the canvas directly in an additive and subtractive process similar to sculpture and painting. Donaldson continues this process by applying luscious, pliant marks across the surface before scraping back and repeating the process until achieving the desired effect.
Effects
Donaldson’s expression in her work encompasses different effects, from timeworn erosion on an aging city to the seemingly endless depth cloaking a horizon in a hazy light. Occasionally, she includes graffiti elements with looping letters cutting through the roughly layered surface like traces of humanity on aging city walls or an ecstatic cry to the heavens that splits the sky.
Style
Through the years, Donaldson has developed a unique style that captures immediacy and freshness. One of her favorite subjects to paint is her home state, Florida, in which she portrays the joy and the bright light of a sparkling Atlantic morning. Some of her original artwork for sale also has a moody and intimate softness, with an indefinable depth and locale that recalls the overall atmosphere of European Romanticism and Impressionism. This effect is common throughout Donaldson’s oeuvre.
