Gerber, Oil Painting

2023

Artist Comments
Artist Judy Mackey paints an impressionist still life of a bright red daisy in a vase. "I happened on a Gerber Daisy that had a broken stem so I brought it indoors and decided to paint it," shares Judy. Bold red petals, painted in brisk strokes, pop against the muted tones in the background. The palette knife application adds texture and depth to the lively piece.

About the Artist
Originally from Japan, Judy Mackey embarked upon her professional artistic career over a decade ago after connecting with a local artist. He taught her how to skillfully wield a palette knife instead of a paintbrush, which gave rise to her own stylistic development. Judy uses this technique to create heavy texture. Her medium of choice is oil paint, with which she enjoys mixing and creating new colors with limited pigments. Her work glows with sweet simplicity in a painterly, impressionistic style.
