Munxar - En plein air by Debbie Bonello @debbiebonellos Oil on canvas 50 x 60 cm 2020 Debbie says on her website: I rediscovered my love for #painting which was forever present growing up. It has now become a daily habit as I lock various themes and subjects on #canvas, using #oils. My works are described as loose and #spontaneous. I use bold #brushwork along colour, #textures and #light to contribute to the overall #mood and atmosphere but leave room for interpretations for viewers to extract their own meaning using their personal experience. I am constantly on a hunt for different compositions wherever I am and combine them with local workshops I attend regularly including #pleinair sessions to extend my studio #outdoors . As an #artist I observe mainly land and #seascapes through moods, preserving them on canvas to express what, to me, is #evocative of that particular place and time. It relates to the importance of making permanent these otherwise volatile emotions. I observe my environment closely to pick specific scenery that conveys abstract feelings. My work is sensitive to #composition, line, texture, colour, and boldness of brushstroke, which come together to project the energy that I reflect and try to #capture on canvas.
