Remembering, Oil Painting

Artist Comments
Artist Judy Mackey presents a bouquet of flowers with lively paint application. "The inspiration for this painting comes from a vase of sunflowers given to me by my cousin—a surprise delivery," shares Judy. The contrasting brown background allows the bright colors to pop. Judy paints with a palette knife to create rich texture and depth to the vibrant piece.

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.
