Jackie Battenfield
Briefly Shaded, Dark Indigo Blue Oak Leaf Botanical Tree Painting White Mylar

2019

About the Item

Dark indigo blue oak leaf foliage with hints of dark burgundy graces delicate branches on the pristine white background of this large vertical painting in acrylic on Mylar mounted on acrylic panel. Framed in a solid white wooden float frame. Signed, dated and titled on back of frame. Jackie Battenfield’s meditative painting process begins with the artist’s close attention to the graceful forms of unfolding leaves and blossoms, and to the twisted boughs and branches of trees. The artist painstakingly translates her photographic studies into drawings on large sheets of translucent Mylar, taking care to stay true to the original images. The artist makes hundreds of color studies before arriving at the palette for each painting. When applied to the Mylar, Battenfield’s ink-like pigments reassert themselves, separating and forming unexpected, distinctive abstract, transparent and opaque patterns. The finished painting on Mylar is mounted on a panel that allows light to play behind the pristine painted surface. The last two images are of color study samples showing the translucency of the Mylar material prior to the mounting.
