August 2024
It's been hot so painting with a lot of water and water spray bottles was a delicious idea. Glenda experiemented with dribbling using acrylics rather than her usual oil paint. She created sme wonderful seas and waterscape paintings on paper which have been framed for her next exhibitions with NROS

About Glenda Gibson
I Paint.
I like to push around thick oil paint in pleasing patterns.
Sometimes I paint something so I have shapes to hang my colour on.
​
I am an explorer
brushing, scraping, slurping, sliding
sumptuous, rich and robust oil paint
over taut canvas trampolining back
after each energetic daub
or sweep of red,
blue and blue and blue,
impossible pink
sunshine yellow, gold and greens
A colour funfair all light
reflecting, refracting and shining bright
with deep healing joy.
"Every Artist dips his brush into his own soul and paints his own nature into his pictures."
Henry Ward Beecher
