New Series

What Lies Beneath, mixed media, 16 x 20

Elizabeth W. Seaver

This is the first painting I began in a new series exploring a mixed media approach to the painting process with a limited palette. As to the subject matter: I've been thinking a great deal about the interdependence of all things, living and non-living, all intertwined with the idea of community and how important that is. Recent earthquakes, marching development, hatred and revenge, and extreme weather have all played a part in the images I have been creating.

I have completed eight paintings so far. You can see them all here.

Blessings on you all. I hope the day is as beautiful where you are as it is where I am.

Bronson Hill Arts said...: While I have to admit that I miss the birds, I do like this new side of your art, Elizabeth. It's always wonderful to try different types of expression.

And, though your intro seemed somewhat dreary- understandable considering the chaos of the current times- your pieces are not at all dreary. Great work!
