Illuminated
Lucia Hackett
$300.00

Selected for Exhibition
Artist statement: I visited this fallen tree many times knowing that one day I would find a bird who would add to the beauty of it. This Great Blue Heron relaxed his wing to soak up the first rays of the setting sun shining through the forest. The stillness of the air allowed for the wonderful line of reflective angles on the water’s surface. In seconds the scene disappeared along with the sun’s rays never to be repeated!
Tip of the ear to end of the tail lovely!

Artist statement: I greatly enjoy painting from life; to look at a motif and have your hands fall in sync with your eyes is a magic experience. The dynamic interaction of focused looking and its recording creates its own type of meditative high. The past many years I have been concentrating on suburban, and rural landscape painting. I have been exploring how light, time, and seasonal describe a place and set mood. I am interested in how architecture, cars, and street signs, interact with the natural environment
