CHROMASEEDS - Framed Mixed Media Painting of 3 Gaillardia w/ Blooms Falling
CHROMASEEDS - Framed Mixed Media Painting of 3 Gaillardia w/ Blooms Falling

CHROMASEEDS - Framed Mixed Media Painting of 3 Gaillardia w/ Blooms Falling

By Heather Hartman

Located in Signal Mountain, TN

CHROMASEEDS is a multilayered composition created with paper and tyvek cut-outs painted with oil, acrylic, and gouache, sealed with polyester mesh layers. The plants represented in the piece are Gaillardia flowers, commonly known as blanket flowers, native to North America and often bred for their decorative, ornamental shape. In her creative process, Hartman anthropomorphizes the flowers, paying attention to their dance-like growth movement. Here, their shadows dance in the prismatic light of the rainbow, while the wind catches their seeds, cultivating the garden. The vibrant, rainbow light was achieved by painting a prismatic shape on tyvec and black paper, creating a reverse silhouette...

By Heather Hartman

Located in Signal Mountain, TN

WATER AND LIGHT (THE THIEF) by Heather Hartman, made for her show "Kudzu Season," is one of a series of four paintings representing the four seasons relative to the Kudzu growth cycle. "Water and Light" is the spring-inspired painting of this seasonal series. During the spring, the kudzu plant begins to awaken from its winter dormancy. The predominantly light blue/sage green atmosphere of this painting gives way to the vibrant curve of a rainbow on the right-hand side of the painting. The leaves of a tree in the background give us the sense that plant life is beginning to flourish. The silhouette of a bare kudzu vine...

By Heather Hartman

Located in Signal Mountain, TN

In this painting by Heather Hartman, lateral stripes of glossy metallic bronze are overlaid on a blue-grey painting featuring shadows of leaves in the descending sun. The blur effect on the underlying painting suggests that the leaves are blowing in the wind, and the disruption attributed to the hard-edged lines reminds us of window blinds...
