a long-time favorite artist is seattle-based lou walls. from handbags to shoes to just about any other kind of ‘something’ you can put art on, her works have been there, done that.
she works in oils, as i recall. says she gets her inspirations while walking in her hometown. her efforts are richly abstract, color becoming texture, and the play between light and shadow hinting toward a scene without ruining it with too much detail. primaries play a large part in her work, but odd juxtapositions are present, too.
never a dull moment. always a delight. i was thinking about her work today and had a few pieces open to look at… and from there, the following created… a vastly inferior effort, to be sure, but set here with a smile for the art and artistry of Ms. Lou Walls.
