October 27, 2011Marilyn Blumer Cochrane
Opening Reception: Wednesday October 26, 6 - 8 PM
I begin my creative process with the stones. These natural minerals and crystals are nature's artworks - mysterious and beautiful. They are the inspiration for the paintings, each one my response to the energy, lines and colours of the stone that I am contemplating.
Each painting is created with about twenty glazes of colour, every layer adding to the richness of the image.
Echoes flow, circling between my painted landscapes and these natural jewels from the earth.
