not always more whose woods these are 54 x 72 click for larger view pardon the homemade photography sometimes it s just less one of the great challenges of this project is to find a way to convey the woods in a way that is authentic but still suggestive and full of mystery and to do that in sizes ranging from 12 x 16 to 72 x 96 in a 12 x 16 you can use one brushstroke to describe what requires a complicated passage in a larger work but more importantly you have to find the right balance between what asher b durand called imitation and representation there are some things which can be imitated and some things that can only be represented i would use the word suggested perhaps the right balance is essential to capture a sense of place and yet retain the mystery and mood you want to convey i wanted the paintings to look like the woods without being literal portraits to convey a palpable sense of what it feels to be in this place that requires something more than suggestive generalization and less than simply copying what you see happy holidays and merry christmas posted by deborah paris at 5 36 pm 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels

illumination 48 x 64 click for larger view spreadsheets not a word i would have ever included on a list of things i might learn about over the course of working on my solo show but here i am two years later finding myself creating spreadsheets to keep track of and organize over forty paintings for the show the exhibition will hang in two separate venues galerie kornye west and the botanical research institute of texas and is organized around the theme of the four seasons in lennox woods early on i worked out the number of pieces i would paint for each season and the size ranges and how many in each range and roughly how many of each would hang in each venue as the work begin to take shape other things needed to be kept track of what pieces had been photographed what was finished and what was work in progress how many of each group still needed to be started and the frame status for each piece then some pieces were sold and others left the studio for the gallery some pieces were varnished and others had not been making it easier to work on them again if i wanted to when we started working on the catalog i needed to keep track of what information had been given to the designer of the catalog and what was still needed and of course the deadlines to get the work finished photographed framed and delivered it turns out spreadsheets are a great way to organize all that information in an easily accessible and organized way spreadsheets who knew posted by deborah paris at 6 13 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels autumn deborah paris galerie kornye west lennox woods lennox woods the ancient forest old growth forest the botanical research institute of texas the nature conservancy tonalist landscapes saturday december 14 2013 what might have been what might have been 48 x 40 click for larger view lennox woods is a 300 acre oasis of old growth forest surrounded by fields pastures third or fourth cut woods and pine plantations driving down the dirt road to its unassuming entrance one can immediately see the change in the landscape the fact that the woods exist today is because from the mid 19th century the lennox family preserved them protected them from logging and then gave them to the nature conservancy to be protected in perpetuity it could have all turned out very differently i thought a lot about all this while i worked in the woods over the last two years but i also came to understand the idea of what might have been in much more personal terms when i first came to the woods i had certain ideas about how i would paint them although i spent several months just looking and drawing i did have some preconceived ideas of how i would approach the work over time many of those ideas dissolved and reformed into new ones influenced both by the woods themselves and the rhythm of my own life those things combined to produce a very different body of work than i would have produced in a shorter span of time or if my own life had not been upended in various ways during the process i don t know what that work would have been like but i feel confident that the body of work that i will exhibit this coming march will be stronger better and deeper that is something else i learned in the woods posted by deborah paris at 5 52 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to
