Artist of the Month- April 2019

4/1/2019

From Photograph to Acrylic Paint

This month we are featuring Lynne Fata. Here are a few words she has written about her piece: This redbellied woodpecker (male) was a visitor to my garden last fall. As he took some breaks from drilling for his breakfast, I was able to capture him with my lens. The composition, color and texture of the resulting images compelled me to create this 9x12 inch painting, highlighting the same “narrow depth of field” that is seen in the photo.

For all artists, it is so important to always be searching for inspiration in the world around us. Interpreting photography into paint really does bring the subjects to life. Keep your cameras/phones nearby and start snapping!
