“SHADOWS AND PATTERNS”

Paintings by BARBARA ZUEHLKE

The show title is “Shadows and Patterns” . The watercolor paintings, which make up the show, were inspired by late day light creating dramatic colors, glow and shadows in landscapes and cast shadows creating contrast and drama in still life and floral paintings. I feel that so much of good painting is about light. I am a triad watercolor painter so all the paintings are created from three pigments: one red, one yellow, and one blue. Example: Indigo, Quinacridone Gold, and Brown Madder or Permanent Rose, Indanthrene Blue, and Lemon Yellow
