Category: Alla Prima

In July 2023 I completed a capstone project for the Alla Prima Bootcamp course that I am taking with Chelsea Lang. It has really moved my painting practice forward as you will see as I post more paintings. The painting in my previous post was a part of this project. The paintings were presented at the Centennial Museum during the Manitoulin Art Tour of 2023. I enjoyed a diversity of conversations about life and death over that weekend. This collection is five friends and I painted a two more but they were shipped and not available. I have three others on my list to paint and will get to them. While I was painting I prayed for all these souls, and I still do. I ask for assistance from them with this inspiration: “Such a soul provideth, …the pure leaven that leaveneth the world of being, and furnisheth the power through which the arts and wonders of the world are made manifest.” It seems that we still have more work to do and continue to have a connection with this world after we have left our physical existence behind.
