With this original "Create From Your Heart" Darlene has started by boldly printing the name on the canvas with marker and then proceeded to add gestural marks, lines and bold hues side by side. Some of them are not the colours you might expect to be side by side but she is a bold fearless artist and she paints all of her works with a gentle but vibrant...... unexpected. I love that about her art. There is a feeling that she indeed creates from her heart so it was really only a matter of time that inspiration for the title would become reality.
Lines with a purple, black and gold marker along with layer after layer of her graffiti style and love of Kandinsky shapes. Hot pink bouncing off of vibrant orange with splashes of teal, deep green and blue. There is a feeling here also of her love of Mitchell's paintings and her total adventurous and audacious style. Welcome and come along into the world of imagination with this Canadian Abstract Artist, Darlene Watson.

Presentation

Artist Statement:

 

“Abstraction in a painting is the emotional creative thoughts, ideas and hues positioned to initiate conversation and invite you to the artist’s heart”

Not all stories are written with words...

Darlene Watson is a painter that speaks with colour, shape and lines. Abstract, bold, and powerful can be used to describe her style. She is an expressive and gestural painter with neutrals or a fearless colour palette.

With each of her paintings, the titles and the layers, you are welcomed into her world as she tells her story. Many of her originals are large-scale and vibrant. Bold thick acrylic in some areas with layers of complementary hues or hues that surprise you when they are side by side.


You find yourself drawn into the art and its story and smile with the boldness of some of the colours she uses.

Her artwork can be found internationally in private or corporate collections.

Artistic Influences:

 

HER INSPIRATION
Of course living so close to a body of water the turquoise and deep blues, greens and neutrals of the sand, beach and trails are part of the inspiration for the artist’s paintings.
Darlene’s paintings are also pulled from her gardens and love of soft pinks in Peonies and the boldness of Clematis. Autumn crinkled leaf hues noticed on her walks are also part of a painting at some point. She gathers all of these ideas shapes of stones, ripples of the lake, cloud hues with violets and purples and of course the sunsets in her area. The golds and orange from sunsets and the deep forest leaf greens, and crimson are all part of her repertoire.
Colours, shapes and lines are often gathered from fashion to integrate later.
HER TECHNIQUE
There can be many layers of acrylics with ink, pen, pencil, charcoal and tea or coffee-stained print added to a mixed media creation of the artist. The majority of her paintings are acrylic with layers of swirls or brush strokes with various brush sizes and sometimes the artist’s hands or palms. Each of these movements adds to the growing depth of the work and the hidden illegible script or notes that sometimes are in the graffiti style that she often uses. With each of her paintings, the titles and the layers, you are welcomed into her world as she tells her story. Many of her originals are large-scale and vibrant. Bold thick acrylic in some areas with layers of complementary hues or hues that surprise you when they are side by side.

You find yourself drawn into the art and its story and smile with the boldness of some of the colours she uses.
