Juliet in Love, 36" x 36"

Oil on Canvas.

"Juliet in Love is about that glow that love radiates. How the world looks different when in love. The smiles comes easier, the kindness comes easier and the willingness to melt together with another person is just automatically the most important thing in your day."

Canadian artist Darlene Winfield's style is impressionistic while at times leaning into semi-abstract. It is created with the use of brush, palette knife, and mixed media when called for. The paintings are completed in layers with dramatic strokes offset by quiet places within the painting. The atmospheric quality and depth of the painting are most important to her. She hopes the viewer will enter into the world she created on the canvas. The history and longevity of oil painting have been important to her. After discovering the buttery texture, smell, and feeling oil paint gave her as she dipped her brushes into it she has not looked back.
