Catherine Bagnell Styles, "Headed To Salty Rose", acrylic on canvas board, 11 x 14 inches
"My paintings are impressionistic. I try to give enough information to suggest what’s happening with the story on the canvas but invite the viewer to fill in the blanks and add their own story to my story. It’s one of the reasons I paint often with palette knife. It keeps me from getting into the detail too much and I love the texture it creates."
Catherine Bagnell Styles, from the Artist Statement, 2019
Catherine Bagnell Styles "North Park", acrylic on canvas board, 10 x 6 inches
Catherine explores her love of plein air painting with thick applications of paint, building textures over the painting's surface with a palette knife. Colour combinations are carefully chosen and bring each work to life, capturing both the light and warmth of summer. Catherine takes us a trip to some of her favorite places, both local and abroad. Peggy's Cove, Lunenburg, and Serres (France) are all depicted in this series. "New World Meets Old World" has something to offer everyone, and continues to July 9. Don't miss it!
