BOOK | Acrylic Illuminations by Nancy Reyner

Acrylic Illuminations: Reflective and Luminous Acrylic  Painting Techniques
by Nancy Reyner

I just picked up this book by Nancy Reyner (visual artist) this past weekend. It is a great read on acrylic painting techniques. I thought that this book presented some interesting techniques on pouring, metallic effects, and creating optical and luminous effects.

NEW WORK | Take a look at me now

"Dreamcatchers No. 1" Copyright © 2016 by Angela Heath

Phil Collins had a popular song in the '80's called Against All Odds. The song had a great line in it "take a look at me now" that I used as the title of this post. As a fabric artist for the past ten years with FabricWorks Studio, I've realized a dream of mine which was to start painting.


I've love painters for the longest time and have been studying the lives of famous painters since I was a child. My favorite artists are Monet, Kandinsky, Kahlo, and Van Gogh. Recently, I've begun tracking African American abstract painters such as Norman Lewis.


I've wanted to experiment with painting abstracts on canvas for a few years now but just have not gotten around to it. Finally, I've been able to begin a daily painting practice.


So, take a look at my abstract paintings HERE.

INSPIRATION | Norman Lewis PAFA Exhibit Catalog

Last week I received the exhibition catalog from the PAFA (Philadelphia Academy of Fine Arts) show of Norman Lewis. It is a wonderfully detailed, well-written book that is a whopping 288 pages. The art pieces are in full color and many cover a full page.

I'm still in the process of reading and researching the wonderful tidbits from it. So far, I've learned that Norman Lewis actually had an estimated 2,500 works. In addition to paintings, sculpture and drawings, I also saw some quilts! Impressive. He was a true artistic spirit...willing to experiment with many different mediums. More to come.


You can check out this beautiful catalog here at the PAFA website, HERE.
