Rosalie
This weeks theme 'Aether' is unusual, and Rosalie has given us an unusual work to ponder. This is a small work that fits into the Miniature category at 100mm x 80mm created on Fabriano 300gsm Hot press with watercolurs and gel pens. Rosalie deliberately used a naive technique, not aiming for the photorealism which is her usual style, but drew and painted in a loose free form way to evoke and express her feelings. She has used no references to create the figure or images but worked from her emotions only.
It is a rather striking piece. The cowering figure on the left is enclosed and confined in a box, its' pose expressing dejection and depression and a lack of hope. But over the rainbow is the cure, a shot or vaccine and the promise of feeling better.
'2020' by Rosalie
I am always excited to see how each of you interperet the theme. I was thrilled to see this work from Rosalie - she dared to do something different and it resulted in an interesting and creative reaction to the prompt.
