„In my art I like to speak quietly. The meaningful message is often only heard in a whisper. To show something strong, but subtle, without shouting, is a challenge for me and an adventure I enjoy. I believe this way can reveal the talent of the artist. I love to explore the possibilities for the medium I am using, to see how much I can take from it, to push the boundaries. Often I create a series of paintings, taking something from the last to form the next. During my 30 year career I have used many mediums including water colours and oil paints, but for the last ten years I have almost exclusively been using oil pastel...

Flower #6 (White Flower)
By James Wilson Rayen
Located in Natick, MA
James Wilson Rayen's Flower #6 (White Flower) is one of a series of studies of blossoms, created in the early 2000s after the death of his mother. This oil painting on board, 12 x 9 x 0.75 inches, a delicate and nuanced treatment of white flowers in a simple vase, is unframed, signed on the front and wired on the back. A recurrent theme of the artist's, one that offers limitless variations, is the beauty and individuality of ordinary places and things. In Rayen's words, "memory, after observation, becomes the driving force—one forgets, adds, subtracts, and all take energy and imagination, until the painting becomes the product, not the process."
