Evening on Crystal Lake, Abstract Oil Painting

2020

Artist Comments
"It's the mixture of warm and cool colors in an evening sky that I find so charming," says artist Ronda Waiksnis. The pink sky spreads beyond the horizon as the sun casts its last rays of the day, while night slowly blankets the heavens. An almost mirror image reflects on the still water, united and separated by trees in deep shadows.

About the Artist
Ronda Waiksnis captures abstracted, atmospheric movement through her direct application painting process. Rarely using brushes, she applies heavy layers of paint with large palette knives and other tools, shifting the oil paint instinctively. Ronda is inspired by her natural surroundings and strives to capture the mood of any given day. The artist uses muted earth tones and receding horizon lines to demonstrate depth, conveying the transient sky or evanescent reflections in water with expressive feeling. Ronda aims to make art that is emotive and visceral, organic and unrefined. She is passionate about the endless possibilities for innovation that being an artist offers.
