The Depth of Lightness, 60" x 60"

Oil on Canvas.

"This painting is an invitation to discover your light and that of others. It is light from above dancing over the water that joins expressionism with impressionism and the viewer for the journey into the painting. With the mission of evoking feelings of reflection, joy and engagement with ourselves and others I hope that the sense of wonder and love never leave your side."

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.
