new small painting
This is a small (12" square) painting called White Landscape, which refers to the rocky, arid aspects of the part of Catalonia I visited in September. I have spent the past week going through all of the work, including this painting, that I plan to hang in my upcoming exhibit at Grace Chosy Gallery in Madison, WI (opens March 6.) I've been choosing the work that best relates to my time in Spain--several of the works on paper I did while there--and a number of oil on panel works that have evolved out of the experience. I've also been making last minute treaks and adjustments of color, cleaning up edges, and taking photos. It's an exciting time, and also a time of self-reflection and self-evaluation as the work merges into a cohesive body for presentation to the public. ¶ 7:09 PM

This is very rich. It is difficult to photograph white work. The textures must be very pronounced. I love all of these most recent works.
thanks for looking and commenting! Leslie, you are so right about the difficulties of photoing white paintings. Also right that the lines here are deeply incised, which is why they show up as well as they do.
That's my favourite up to the moment!I love the hazy, almost languid feeling, and as usual you add the exact touch of texture to keep the eye going. Would you mind posting about the process sometime? I think that would be most interesting too.

Hi Melian,
I guess it has been while since I've talked about my process on the blog, and I promise to do so soon at your request. In the meantime, you might want to check out this link:
http://www.rebeccacrowell.com/workingmethods.html (this is an essay on my website artist page)
and/or this one:

and go to their featured artist link, scroll down to the bottom where former featured artists have links--in this article I explain how I make multiple panel paintings.
Thanks for your interest!
