First paintings of 2012 delivered today to Spectrum Art & Jewelry in Wilmington, NC. Fresh interiors with sunflowers, my neighbors camellias and seasonal fruits. Painted in favorite corners of my home with my own compositional twists and way of seeing the subjects. Vibrant lemons and a delivery of Harry & David apples inspired several studies of their shapes & colors. Hope you enjoy and invite you to take a closer look by visiting the gallery or calling with inquiries. http://www.spectrumartandjewelry.com/Kristin_Gibson.html

Kristin Gibson Current Canvas: A Second Look

Mon, 14 Nov 2011 21:03:00 -0500

“Bouquets in Red, Yellow, Blue” ©Kristin Gibson 30x40 $1600 (Before is to the left and after to the right.)

I truly do paint in an alla prima manner, meaning “all at once”... However, I’ll leave new paintings propped up in view or place it across the room to let it marinate. With a second look and a few choice brush strokes of color, I revisited this painting and made the composition more dynamic. The upper right corner is what didn’t feel quite right. If you look to the larger image, you’ll see the difference in the before & after. I find it amazing what a shift in color and suggestive brushwork can do.
Let me know what you think!

I hope you will join me daily at Daily Paintworks, on my new painting adventure! You can even sign up for the daily email from DPW: http://www.dailypaintworks.com/Home/Subscribe

Kristin Gibson Current Canvas: City Art Gallery

“Peppers & Picasso” ©Kristin Gibson 20x20 $600 A fun variety of home grown peppers from my local market, happily mingling in one of my favorite pieces of pottery and set atop several Picasso books... hence the title!

Nine new paintings are on the way to City Art Gallery in Greenville, NC. You can visit my City Art web page to see all the latest pieces. Beyond peppers, I enjoyed painting my husband’s classic Diana & Holga cameras. Lomography fans out there may enjoy these compositions with the iconic cameras. You’ll also see green pears, a bouquet of tropical plumeria, wonderful interesting blooms picked fresh from my florist’s garden. Green grapes, purple cabbage and a staple in our home...Old Bay.
