the landscape oil paintings

The continuity of Collis' creative expression may help explain why so much of the eye-catching art that one sees upon entry into the Collis home is the artist's own! Works like her "Feminine Energy" triptych, fills one whole wall of her light-filled dining room, and was actually painted this year.But then, an oil painting like 'How Long Will I See Girlhood in My Daughter', hanging strategically near the family fire place, was painted several years back, when her mood was a blue as the hues featured on her large canvas. Collis' hallmark is clearly her radiant and rich use of color as well as the magical <a href="http://wk.putianb2b.com/"><strong>网络兼è�Œè�”盟 </strong></a> way in which she blends her oil paints, either using brushes or oil color sticks. That hallmark is one reason why she gets commissions like 'A Powerful Pink Passionate Painting', for which her patron asked explicitly for a painting drenched in passionate pinks! Such a painting is also indicative of the artist's inclination to 'speak' aesthetically in luscious, often loud and loquacious colours rather than fine figurative lines and imagery.Ever since RaMoMA closed in late 2010, Collis has plunged <a href="http://wk.putianb2b.com/"><strong>广州兼è�Œ </strong></a> into her painting practically full-time."It wasn't easy, losing RaMoMA," says Collis who clearly struggles with feelings of loss for the dream that virtually evaporated before her very eyes. "We worked hard to save it, and we came so close to succeeding, but there were many factors working against us, and ultimately, we didn't have the means to revive RaMoMA in the end."Fortunately, the RaMoMA Trust still exists as does the RaMoMA Collection which includes more than 90 works of art purchased or donated to RaMoMA throughout the 2000s. "We still have hope that the RaMoMA Collection will find a home in Nairobi, and in the meantime, the reality <a href="http://wk.putianb2b.com/"><strong>网赚之家 </strong></a> that the RaMoMA Trust still exists means the dream still lives on," Collis said.At home in her studio, Collis is currently involved with several painterly 'works in progress', particularly ones that reflect her first love -- for those Kenyan floral gardens whose mind-boggling colors veritably explode on her canvases.Currently, attentive to the garden of the late Kenyan fashion designer, Erika Boswell, Collis makes the most <a href="http://436100.info/view.php?id=104700"><strong>Herve Leger Style Dresses - FC2ブãƒ*ã‚°</strong></a> of the crayon-like oil color sticks that she uses together with her brushes and broad palette of oil paints.But it's her more graphic landscape of Limuru 'Tea pickers' that has several Kenyan collectors panting for that particular painting as it's so reminiscent of the way many Kenyans grew up who lived on and around the ultra-green tea plantation.
