Marlene Kallstrom-Barritt, "Ascending CX #10," 2020

watercolour, ink, waxed and mounted on cradled board, 10" x 10" x 1.5"

Marlene Kallstrom-Barritt describes the series called Ascending, as "having a foundation in realism but gives a big nod towards abstraction. The hues in each scene are outlined in ink to purposefully acknowledge of how simple individual colours contribute to the painting as a whole. Little "bubbles" of thankfulness can be found in each painting, and these “bubbles" rise upward; hence, the name. It’s as though the mountains and the hills are thankful for the warm sunshine, thirst-quenching rain and nutritious soil, and so, they burst into song.”

First Friday Gallery Tour and Opening Reception: February 4, 2022 from 5:30 - 8:00 pm
