If you are an artist, you know the joy and delight your materials bring. The smell of fresh paint, the glow of molten glass, the feel of earthen clay. Seattle artist Margie Livingston is one artist who obviously enchanted with her unique properties of her chosen medium– paint.
198 Angles, Mostly Yellow, acrylic, 33.5x29
Her paintings are not only explorations into the characteristics of the paint– color, texture, sheen, etc., but also studies in shape, form, line and space.
263 Angles, Neutral Over Red, acrylic, 33x24.5
She’s also taken this investigation of medium a step further– creating actual sculptures from paint, genius!
