Glowing Hearts, 36" x 36"

Oil on Canvas.

Winfield captures the essence and nature of painting through her raw yet elegant brushwork, refined compositions, and personal contemporary colour palette.

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.
