| “What makes you think I enjoy being led to the flood” 36x36in. Oil on Canvas 2010 |
A couple of weeks ago, I was inadvertently introduced
(through a Facebook friend) to a new-to-me artist: Erin Lynn Welsh. She’s a
painter and photographer living in NYC and her work is gorgeous.
 |
| “Dale’s yard in New Mexico” 2009 Mixed Media (Acrylic and Oil paint) 54x54in. |
I was immediately drawn to her style, which, to me, echoes some
of my favorite artists such as Georgia O’Keefe and Anselm Kiefer. I spent the
rest of the afternoon looking at as much of her work as I could find online.
 |
| “Elodie” 2007 Mixed Media (Oil and thread work) 36x48in. |
Many of her works are large so I can
only imagine how powerful they are in person. I can’t imagine that my little
house could handle all the beauty of one her paintings. But that won’t stop me
from dreaming!
 |
| “Untitled 2” 2008 Mixed Media (Oil and thread work) 36x52in. |
I’ll leave you with a couple images to get your Friday
started off on an inspiring note. If you need me, I’ll be counting my pennies
and calculating exactly how long it will be before I can own one myself. If you're interested in seeing more of Erin's work, check out her blog or her gallery at Uprise Art.
