Paintings by Terese, A Bucks COunty, Pennsylvania Artist
Description
I'm presently using acrylics on canvas. I create works of art that are contemporary, textural and stylized, rendered by color placement and powerful strokes with a pallet knife and brush. I enjoy painting what seems to be objects when my intention is to paint simple patterns that look like objects from a distance.
My work shows a balanced sense of composition where I utilize methods such as juxtaposing color, impasto technique mixed with blending and fauvism. My figural pieces capture a true substance under the surface, showing emotion and a strong sense of character sometimes left to the imagination.
Having a natural ability since childhood without the formal art education, I usually choose to paint or sketch the images directly onto the canvas versus the traditional drawing then graphing.

"Ahead by a Nose" (24"x18") is a contemporary, impressionistic fauvist piece painted with brush and palette knife to create this stylized impasto.

Philosophy and Comments
Painting images communicates on many levels and individuals see what they see in art whether it's painted intentionally as that or not. The multitude of lines, forms and colors add to one's environment in ways not imagined. The illusion of simple brushstrokes that appear as objects to the eye from a distance enhances the viewer's creativity which enhances their life. Many people admire the fact that artist's can paint. Whether or not someone can paint better than someone else isn't as important as the viewer being able to see something in the work of art that others may not see.

"Pastel Poses" (24"x18") this contemporary figural embodies juxtaposing of pastel tones, impasto, fauvism, touch of cubism, along with stylized delineation of some forms.

Work Hours and Fee Schedule

The Witness of Time is a semi abstract contemporary piece 
of reduction art. I use varied subject matter (representational objects, 
still life, figurals and landscapes,etc) with a consistent style.
COMMISIONED PIECES: I work from photos or your ideas of subject matter (send your photo, sketch etc.). I'll create a fauvist (you can select specific colors that you want to have in the painting for decorating purposes or personal preference), textural (light or heavy impasto) rendition with juxtapositioned colors (colors that are placed throughout the painting to give balance to the composition in the painting). The main forms or subject (flowers, figures, landscape etc.) will be recognizable yet original with the stylized black line also juxtaposed. The backgrounds are minimal semi-abstract to abstract.
To order a commisioned painting please contact Terese at 215-703-0593. Paintings are done in acrylic on canvas. Ideal for corporate or personal collections. Various sizes and price ranges available.
