Valerie Berkely
Another Glow, Oil Painting

2021

About the Item

Artist Comments
"I am often inspired by Impressionist works," says artist Valerie Berkely. "This piece is evocative of a setting sun behind the trees to cast long shadows forward." Valerie developed her own special process of pre-texturing the canvas before fingerpainting intuitively with a limited color palette.


About the Artist
Valerie Berkely uses her finger tips as brushes to create her abstract paintings. For Valerie, the art is all about the process, the paint, her mood, and the moment. She admires the artist Wolf Kahn, who once said, “the picture is the conclusion of an experiment in which the hint of an image becomes actuality." Like Kahn, Valerie’s paintings combine pictorial landscapes with painterly abstraction. The vibrant primary colors capture the hues of the sun rising and setting, and the texture of her fingers across the surface divides sea, land, and sky. There is something very dreamy about these works, exemplified by their color, texture, and atmospheric quality. Valerie’s first “art epiphany” was seeing Seurat's La Grande Jatte at the Art Institute of Chicago. “Bowled me over! I actually fell down. And I knew I was to become a painter.”
