The most difficult of all subjects in the world of fine arts is the subject of running waters and the effect they have on light, and on rocks, and on air, etc..
And yet, there’s nothing like a master artist flexing their art superpowers and delivering exceptional work. Lori Niland Rounds does that and more in “Colors of the Creek II.”
She notes:
Colors on the Creek II is an encaustic monotype that I created after viewing the colorful waterlilies of downtown Frederick’s Carroll Creek Linear Park. I composed a ‘birds-eye’ perspective to capture the vibrant colors of the lilies and lily pads as well as the movement of the water. I balanced the use of negative space and translucent encaustic paint on Kozo paper to bring this piece to life. Kozo is a type of Japanese printmaking paper made from the bark of the mulberry tree. It is a versatile and unique printmaking paper that contains visible mulberry fibers that enhance the illusion of water flowing through Carroll Creek.
Behold “Colors of the Creek II” by Lori Niland Rounds, an Encaustic Monotype, c.2019, 33×10 inches. It will exhibited at Pyramid Atlantic Arts Center as part of the Women Artists of the DMV survey show.
