Bertha Day Fine Art & Craft, St Andrews, NB
Description
Although my landscapes and flowers are painted with acrylics, they have the soft edges of watercolors. This 'soft' look was influenced by the early days of my work.
When I first started to paint I was working only with fabrics and using painting dyes. While I learned, I used watercolor books as teaching aids, so my work often has a 'watercolor look'. Now I use acrylics as most artists use watercolors, and I choose either watercolor paper or canvas as the support for my traditional work.
The grasses and flowers are combination of traditional embroidery, free motion machine work, and ribbon embroidery. Because I design the work as I go along, each piece is truly different. The way the colors work together and the texture of the materials influence the final piece.
