ARTIST STATEMENT |
| Sunny afternoons and barefoot splashes in the water; these scenes of simple pleasures are a reflection of Rebecca Darlington's love of the good life. Her paintings display joyful color and brushwork, but are further compelling because of the romantic subtext, often focusing on youthful wonder and sublime comforts.
Her love of travel and of French culture gives Darlington's work an additional depth. "Some painting themes are compiled from my drawings," she states, "Sketches of my boys playing by the pool and lots of traveling scribbles while on trains and in restaurants." Darlington delights in the sumptuous nature of oil painting as she spreads on delicious layers of color with an expert comprehension of the way that light dances off various objects and textures. The portfolio, On the Line, features different clothes lines full of hanging iconic items. Some items clipped on the line are vegetables, bras, balloons, notebooks, wineglasses, shoes and bouquets of flowers. This portfolio offers everyone a different interpretation based on their unique relationship with the objects and combinations on line. To view more paintings visit: www.RebeccaDarlington.com |
