Painting, Woman-Owned
Abbie Ansburg
Original oil paint on board
Abbie paints what makes her stop and take notice … an emotional pull that fuels her ideas. Inspiration comes from moments that stir her soul.
She captures the energy of these feelings – the power of hope, the rage of courage, the passion of joy – and puts them on her canvas. Choosing colors and techniques that represent these emotions. Dark hues for solace and calm. Bold strokes of the pallet knife for courage and daring. Combinations of softly blended colors next to bold strokes of paint create areas of tension and pockets of calm.
Using oil paint as her medium, she begins with a few large strokes to indicate the shape or atmosphere. She then lets these strokes lead her, letting the painting take over.
