Winter's Abloom Watercolor Paintings by Tanya Libby
Artist's statement: Timeless, yet fresh and new, sophisticated, yet exquisitely simple, my florals long to be examined and enjoyed. I use a variety of paint and ink to create infinite textures in three-dimensions on canvas and paper. As a teenager, I was introduced to the artwork of Georgia O’Keeffe. Her floral paintings sparked a peaceful and joyous feeling within me which has influenced my work. I'm inspired by the nature of flowers, their delicacy, form, and vibrant colors. In this collection, I've focused on capturing the inherent, unassuming beauty of the flowers of Vermont. Flowers are the earth’s special gifts. Their wonders deserve to be magnified, honored, and thoroughly enjoyed. By painting them, I am letting them blossom forever.
