Ronda Waiksnis

A Landscape's Plan II, Abstract Oil Painting

2019

Artist Comments
With this painting, Ronda returned to the same composition as her piece "A Landscape's Plan," however, she mirrored the scene to study the changing lighting conditions. As the sun moved in the sky, the deep greens turned emerald, moving closer to the turquoise and grey in the water and sky. Ronda leaves it to the viewer to decide whether we are witnessing a sunrise or a sunset in these two pieces. "A painting done in a painterly style gives us room for imagination," says Ronda of this highly abstracted scene.

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.
