SOLD! Red & Blue Birds Against Striped Sky, by Sandra Campbell

This past weekend saw another great painting off to a new home.  Sandra Campbell's delightful little collage, Red & Blue Birds Against Striped Sky, is a careful overlaying of colors that create a depth of field that contrast to the simplicity of the birds. Although not a large piece, it carries a huge impact of imagery and imagination. Time to make a visit to see the rest of the show before they also find new homes!  Open Thursday through Sunday, 11:00 am - 4:00 pm.

Michelle Thornburg - Artist's Statement

O-015 Feathers-in-the-Windby Michelle Thornburg acrylic 30x40- $850

My style of creating artwork is painting from the subconscious. There are no carefully planned sketches, no grids, it is just me and my paint with no expectations of anything but painting. I use my hands to apply the paint directly onto my canvas, no rules, just whatever feels right.  The key for me is to let go of the conscious world around me, and just paint, allowing my hands to take the lead. Eventually the painting reveals itself. It's like daydreaming on a canvas.

Artist's Biography

O-014  Sea-of-color-by Michelle Thornburg acrylic 30x40- $850

Michelle Thornburg is a California Artist and Art Teacher living and working in the Central Valley.  She creates dream like paintings from her subconscious using the Surrealist technique of automatism, or automatic painting.  Her technique of using mainly her hands to apply acrylic or oil paint to the canvas allow her to connect with her artwork.  Her paintings are created by applying paints onto the canvas in various colors, patterns, and movements. Her paintings are often reworked and go through many changes before they are completed. These expressive paintings are full of fanciful images and colorful landscapes.
