Anna Sandhu Ray Acrylic Oil Painting on Canvas Fall Landscape Gazebo 40"

Description

1990 acrylic liquitex on canvas painting by Anna Sandhu Ray featuring a pink and gray landscape of a gazebo and trees by a river or lake. Artist Statement:

Hi my name is Anna. I was born in the Unica Mountains of Virginia. I began painting at five. My mother always critiqued my work, which drove me to always do better. I was a sketch artist for CBS and was involved in the Snail Darter Trial, which lead to me handling the James Earl Ray Brushy Mountain Prison escape trial. I assisted Steve Oglesby by sketching James Earl Ray for his documentary Ray, the Man. James Earl and I had the same interest in art which lead us eventually to be married.

Originally, I did a lot of landscape art and sketches of people. My grandmother always wanted me to do floral paintings, but it wasn't until after her death that I acquired the capabilities of doing florals.

My paintings are currently done with Acrylic Liquitex heavy body paint. It looks like oil, but is even more durable. I always use this on canvas. My painting starts with a pen and ink, then ink washed with pastel highlights as well as what I call "controlled splattering". This allows me to use many different colored spots with a brush, to give a soft, yet colorful impression of scenic features. This gives my art a stained glass type of look, which leads the viewer to imagine it's a place they would like to go.

I have used watercolor, pen and ink, oil, and pastels (chalk).
