Pieced Ochre 2014 Jennifer Duncan

Here we go. New work, new process, new blog!
Winter has been long, cold, snowy and somewhat isolating. I needed to try something new. Lately I have had the feeling that I wasn’t getting what I wanted from my acrylic paints. What I love the most about acrylic is the thick, plastic-y, smooth texture and the incredibly intense bright colors. When you pour Golden liquid acrylics and let them dry, you get YUM. I have been having so much fun painting large abstracted pages of hot press watercolor paper, then re-working these paintings by cutting them up and re-piecing them. It’s a bit like putting together a puzzle that has no correct format!

About Jennifer Duncan

Using predominantly water-based media, I create abstract paintings that reflect my observations of the world around me. I am drawn to a specific moment in time that captured my imagination, due to a surprise color, a repetitive pattern or an unusual botanical seen on a nature walk. I approach each painting with spontaneity and the conscious objective of opening myself up to the unexpected.

    Your new pieces are wonderful….great composition, color and overall design. I look forward to seeing all your new pieces in this series. They are a great example of what a talented mixed media artist can achieve on a 12 x 12 square!
