Item Description
"The Elegance of Gravity" - 18" x24" oil painting framed
Oil on linen on board. I make my own panels from a Belgian linen glued on to un-tempered masonite. I have been showing on Canyon Road since 2001, with solo shows every year since the first. I now show at Sage Creek Gallery on Canyon Road.
"The Elegance of Gravity" is about the silence that can emerge when the
static of life drops to the background and Presence/consciousness/God is
revealed as ever present. It's an invitation to STOP. How is that painted?
Where is it painted from? Who paints it?
The name came from the feeling I had when I stepped back to see the finished
painting and felt the weight of the crocheted cloth and the velvety, heavy
Peonie blossoms. And then, feeling the impulse to fill the empty space on
the tabletop with fallen petals and the tension that the empty spot created
when I resisted filling it. It mirrors the impulses of the mind to fill
every nook and cranny and what happens when we watch that impulse and don't
act on it!
Wendy Higgins studied still life oil painting with Cary Ennis of Los Alamos, N.M. Plein Air workshops with Don Ward and William Scott Jennings through the Scottsdale Artists’ School and workshops with David Leffel.
