Ingrid J Ormestad
As my art journey has continued I have found myself drawn more towards impressionism and have tried to develop a much lighter and looser style than was found in my earlier works. This is particularly evident in pieces such as "The Gull". I really like working wet-in-wet and love the unexpected results found as the colours work together to produce their own blends and mixes.
My painting "Ducks" is a bit of a cheat. I used two separate photo's of the same duck to make the painting more interesting.
The pieces "Cotswold Street Scene" and "Arches" are both featured in an exhibition at Dunkeld. The church holds the exhibition every year to raise funds towards the upkeep of Dunkeld Cathedral. Artists from all over the UK take part and I am honoured to be one of them.
Very loose wet-in-wet really comes into it's own with paintings like "Ewe and Me" and "Safe" and I find I am currently very much enjoying painting sheep and lambs. There is something about them as subject matter that really lends itself to my present way of working. Going forward I want to do a lot more by way of animal paintings in watercolour, and also experiment more with acrylics, a medium I've dabbled with but not used to any serious degree.
