"Crossing" by Catherine Daniels
Cold Wax and OIl
14’’ by 14’’
My body of work focuses on semi-abstracted landscapes, with an emphasis on color relationships that are used to create a dream-like feeling. To create this mood, I work with subtle or toned-down colors, and layer-upon-layer of cold wax and oil for texture, intermixed with Galkyd, which adds luminosity. Often, these pieces, on wood panels, will contain 20 or more layers, varying between thin glazes and thick wax applied with a palette knife. Attention to color relationships, in order to create harmony, continues to remain a focus of all my paintings. Influences include: my teacher and mentor, Janis Pozzi-Johnson, J.W. Turner, Claude Monet, Joan Mitchell, Gerhard Richter, Willem de Kooning, Lee Krasner, and my grandfather, Albert Dierberger.
