July 2022 Featured Artist Member of the Month: Laurie Hendricks of South Pasadena, California
“I’m a believer in the benefits of painting from life, whether from a live model, outdoors in the landscape or a still life, because it’s the best way to see true color and value in nature. I endeavor to paint in direct response to my subject, in a loose impressionist/expressionist way, taking the subject before me, filtering it through my feelings and emotions, to create something unique and original. My acting and film background helps me to to tell the story and create good design and composition within the frame that is the canvas. Nature is my muse, but my interpretation of natural beauty is expressed in my own voice. My approach to Plein Air is to take the work to a degree of finish on location, rarely working on it later in the studio.”
