Oh, that Glow, 36" x 36"

Oil on Canvas.

"When happiness enters your heart and you 'glow'. Love and contentment are not easy to find always, so when you do find that moment when you are just so happy you glow, grab it and enjoy it, share your energy with others. The glow you create with your smile and welcoming nature is so important to others. We are all connected, the energy you share is affecting others, so why not share happiness!"

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.
