Wendy D

What is Photography?

It's about Emotions… those in front of you, those you create and those you experience.

It's about Instincts - knowing the precise moment when everything comes together and you press shutter.

It's about Relationships - highlights & shadows, F-stops & shutter speeds, photographer & subject, subject & environment, image & viewer.

It's about Observation - being aware of what is around you, seeing what others miss, and capturing it for them…

It's about Voice - finding what you want to say and having the courage to say it.

It's about Sharing - sharing your passion, your experiences, your knowledge, yourself

Wendy D's love affair with the art, technique, business and people, which make up the world of photography spans twenty years. It's her life…. (see it here: www.wendyd.ca)

|  Quotes

Judith D'Agostino

As I paint, I search for the essential nature of reality. The artistic creation is the metamorphosis of that reality. Then, through the use of space, light and color, it becomes the external physical part of something beyond itself. It becomes spiritual and self-sustaining. Such is the magic act which takes place continuously in the development of a work of art.

Andres D'Arcangelo Artwork

Claroscuro

Andres D'Arcangelo

At a time when many artists of his generation only dedicate themselves to "show" as they paint, Andres D'Arcangelo risks himself to "demonstrate". This is to say that within his painting we see commitment and opinion at the same time . He assumes the creative meaning of an artist who adds a look into the world which not only limits himself tore cord or examine but also he essentially makes his own rendering. This is what this young artist does with a new look, which has a lot to do with the information that comes to us from the audiovisual electronic media , but without letting technology set man aside.

Fran Dales Artwork

 Email

Fran Dales

A city girl originally from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Fran Dales has no idea where her love of horses came from. Then a move to British Columbia as a teenager meant that she was finally able to have that horse she'd always dreamed of. That was 'quite a few' years ago now, and the love affair with horses still continues. She paints with acrylics mostly, but also loves the detail possible only with colored pencil, in her opinion an under-appreciated medium.

Anne Daletski artist statement: I paint because I must. I have always been compelled to share my thoughts and experiences with others both through speaking and writing. I love to share strength, joy and peace with those around me. As the pace of modern life accelerates, I feel a need to communicate with everyone more quickly. I truly believe "one picture is worth a thousand words." I makes little difference whether you have a few moments to glance at or a lifetime to study my work, I am able to share with you through my painting. As an artist who is continually seeking more knowledge to improve my communication skills through painting, I have studied with Frank Webb and Tony Couch, both renowned artists and authors. I have also taken numerous watercolor courses from Michele Cooper, a signature member of Northwest Watercolor Society. Each new experience contributes to my growth and expression as an artist. I am currently the 1st Vice President of the Stanwood Camano Arts Guild in Washington State and am the chairperson for the Guild's Annual Spring Art Show. I primarily show my work in the Puget Sound area where I have won numerous awards but I also have collectors throughout the Unites States and Europe.

May 2, 1519, Cloux, Fr.), Italian painter, draftsman, sculptor, architect, and engineer whose genius, perhaps more than that of any other figure, epitomized the Renaissance humanist ideal.

Bob Davis' artist statement: I choose subjects that feel right. Mostly, I just paint for the fun of it.

I do commission work I call Special Place Portraits, such as the painting I did several years ago for two professors at Oklahoma State University. They supplied a photograph of their former home in the Seychelles Islands and commissioned me to do a painting they could hang in their home in Stillwater, Oklahoma. I use photos as reference such as a certain truck or car, a picture of the house or family business. It’s like putting the puzzle pieces together.

Jacquelyn Davis Artwork

Cloud Dance

 Email

Jacquelyn Davis

Jacquelyn Davis was first inspired by abstract images created in collage under the tutelage of Sister Cordellia, a pop artist nun who was heavily influenced by the work of her friend Andy Warhol. Though Jackie left her early youth and art behind to travel the world, she found herself painting again in South India, where she spent most of her time reading, contemplating, and meditating on the nature of self. Through this she found that the answers are always illusive, and that it is the questions which when turned back on themselves reveal the truth of the moment. Jackie's work in acrylic, silk, and watercolor, mirrors her internal process, which is a fluid movement through an inner abstract landscape of texture and color, highlighting the play of light and dark around a central core of stillness.

Paul de Marrais

Paul's statement: I have used pastels for many years. Many of the commercial set colors were colors I never used. This got me started in pastel making. Fifteen years of tinkering and I feel I am approaching my goal... a big, richly pigmented buttery soft pastel that is fun to use. I use them every day! Painting with pastels is a wonderful experience... if you are using great materials. My pastels are softer than Rembrandt and Unison, won't crush to pieces like Sennelier, and have a more brilliant and interesting palette than Schmincke. Made from permanent non toxic pigments at a very reasonable affordable price. Join other fine pastel artists and give my pastels a try!

Marcel Debreuil

Marcel Debreuil Artist Statement: All my paintings are done in oils - usually three thin layers, though the final pass is usually in the form of touch ups. I use three layers of gesso, sanded, the third one textured with a roller on the pottery wheel. I then paint the background, also on the wheel. Sometimes I will spritz with oils and turpentine to achieve a marbled effect. I tend to work in a series of seven paintings at a time. Apart from painting I do a lot of drawing, sculpting, pottery, poetry, and landscape architecture.

Adrian Deckbar

Adrian Deckbar artist statement: For thirty five years I painted and drew the figure. I painted people in their everyday environments, usually within their city rooms, often looking out of windows. I was not only attempting to paint their forms, but something about their being, their existence. Four years ago I had an epiphany. One day while painting I began to recognize that my use of the figure as a vehicle for what I wanted to say about my experience on this planet was simply not enough. I began to feel compelled by what was outside the window, wanting to go as far away from the people, buildings, and windows as possible.
