“Convergence,” by Anne Price Yates, Portland Branch (Oregon)
Acrylic (12×12)
From the artist:
“My 12-by-12-inch acrylic, Convergence, waited years to be painted. Every spring, my front yard explodes with color. Roses, irises, tulips, johnny jump-ups, and rosemary create a delightful panorama in various hues, which shout for attention. These are lovely but were not my primary focus for Convergence. Instead, I have tried to express the delight I experience in one obscure spot of my yard.
The soft yellows and pale blues of these unnamed delicate flowers have fascinated me for all the years I have lived here. They do not flaunt brilliant colors but are simply charming.
I have attempted to capture the quiet, fragile, and lovely effect of this convergence. Tall iris leaves form a perfect backdrop for the delicate tiny blossoms surrounded by mosses and stones. It was indeed time for this lovely tranquil spot to be memorialized on canvas.”
Thank you, Lois, for writing. I’m so pleased you enjoyed my painting.
Thank you, Dayle, for your thoughtful comments. I’m pleased that my painting was helpful to your work.
I agree w/ Lois and Laura … : Beautiful …
Your work is really wonderful. I recently took a really good art class via zoom , about ‘not being afraid of using dark tones’. I was convinced and now, seeing your work, I’m doubly convinced. Thank you for sharing your lovely and inspiring work.
Anne, what a beautiful painting. I love your talent; thank you! It is so natural, more as if a photograph. (That’s meant as a compliment!) It is wonderfully realistic…alive!
I’m thrilled that so many Pen Women (and hopefully many others!) are afforded the joy of basking in your talent.
Love the colors and the art work! Looks like it would be a good cover for the Pen Woman magazine.
