They are Watching You, Too Acrylic 48x48
Ober-Rae Starr Livingstone
Painting
ARTIST STATEMENT
I paint the landscape with the hope that, through depicting the beauty of Creation, others will remember that feeling of awe and peace that we often experience when we stop to watch a sunset, or to observe the play of light dancing on water, or when we take the time to observe sun and shadow sweeping across a valley. It seems to me that everything that inspires a sense of wonder in our lives, and lifts us out of our daily working world routine, is a glimpse of a path we are being shown to return to the “Eden” within ourselves and to help us remember that we are a part of the beauty that surrounds us. email: kolorama@newageart.com

2004 Established the 5th Street Gallery in Cincinnati, Ohio www.5thstreetgallery.com
Working Method: I work with acrylics. The intensity of color is due to working with anywhere from 6 to 20 layers of color on most parts of the canvas. Sometimes I start with a photograph and sometimes with just an idea. The painting becomes more abstract as it evolves. My main concern is the balance of shapes and colors – their relationships to one another and the feelings that they evoke within the viewer. It is the feeling, the flow of Energy that I really love about the painting process– the intensity and joy that comes when the painting seems to take on a life of its own. It is at this point in the work that changes are made through the heart and not the mind, and the artist feels that he/she is a part of higher creative processes.
