Artist: Valerie Berkely
Winter Song, Abstract Oil Painting
By Valerie Berkely
Located in San Francisco, CA

Artist Comments
The frosted ground crackles beneath each step on a crisp winter day. Cool green and blue tones envelop the forest scene, extending from the ground to the wooded area. The transparent hues applied on textured surfaces convey the wintry ambiance of the landscape.


About the Artist
Valerie Berkely uses her finger tips as brushes to create her abstract paintings. For Valerie, the art is all about the process, the paint, her mood, and the moment. She admires the artist Wolf Kahn, who once said, “the picture is the conclusion of an experiment in which the hint of an image becomes actuality." Like Kahn, Valerie’s paintings combine pictorial landscapes with painterly abstraction. The vibrant primary colors capture the hues of the sun rising and setting, and the texture of her fingers across the surface divides sea, land, and sky. There is something very dreamy about these works, exemplified by their color, texture, and atmospheric quality. Valerie’s first “art epiphany” was seeing Seurat's La Grande Jatte at the Art Institute of Chicago. “Bowled me over! I actually fell down. And I knew I was to become a painter.”

Trees In Winter, Oil Painting
By Valerie Berkely
Located in San Francisco, CA

Artist Comments
I used my finger tips to apply many layers of translucent cool colors in oil and wax. There is a softly calm feeling to the quiet distance of the winter trees in the background while one sturdy pine comes forth. Hints of apricot and lavender glow from beneath misty layers. My choice in this color palette lends itself to any season's decor, inspired by Wolf Kahn. The edges of this piece are natural wood. This piece is wired to hang.

Golden Glow, Oil Painting
By Valerie Berkely
Located in San Francisco, CA

Artist Comments
Artist Valerie Berkely presents a fiery sunset above thick silhouetted trees. The warm rays of the sun brighten the landscape with cooling hues of violet spreading across the forest floor. With her finger painting technique, Valerie uses transparent oils on top of gold iridescent acrylic textures creating a luminescent glow. It results in a captivating image with a gentle flow of movement.

Bare Trees 1, Oil Painting
By Valerie Berkely
Located in San Francisco, CA

Artist Comments
Building up many layers of color in oil paint and cold wax medium, Valerie then used scrapers to reveal the tree trunks in an abstract landscape. Warm orange and yellow trees standing in front of a cool blue and green background. Heavy texture complements the expressionist palette. The piece is part of a series of three works. Although Valerie did not create them as triptych, the three hang well close together.

Seven Birch Trunks, Oil Painting
By Valerie Berkely
Located in San Francisco, CA

Artist Comments
Birches and aspen trees are one of Valerie's favorite subjects. She developed this piece by building layers of oil paint and then scraping them back with a palette knife to achieve the texture of birch bark. Valerie says, "look for the heart shape carved into the bark - Monet did that once!" The edges of the gallery wrapped canvas are painted a neutral grey.
