Leaving Worries, Oil Painting

Artist Comments
Waves roll in while the sun sits high in the sky. Inspired by a short winter visit to Florida, artist Judy Mackey creates a serene view of the Gulf Coast. "This painting was made with quieter tones which reflects the peacefulness of the beach, no distractions, no worries," shares Judy. With her palette knife, Judy rendered the piece with careful strokes yielding thick texture and chunkiness.

About the Artist
Originally from Japan, Judy Mackey embarked upon her professional artistic career over a decade ago after connecting with a local artist. He taught her how to skillfully wield a palette knife instead of a paintbrush, which gave rise to her own stylistic development. Judy uses this technique to create heavy texture. Her medium of choice is oil paint, with which she enjoys mixing and creating new colors with limited pigments. Her work glows with sweet simplicity in a painterly, impressionistic style.
