Angela Dickerson-Lee (Angie's Latest Work)

Angela Dickerson-Lee

My amazingly talented upstairs neighbor, Angela Dickerson-Lee (I posted about her shop, Bonita Interiors, a couple of months ago) brought in her newest work yesterday. And I have been almost speechless ever since. This a quite large painting (I'm guessing about 5 ft. by 3.5 ft.) and is impressive if size were the principal consideration; what is capturing my eye is the positive energy that is shooting from this piece. Unfortunately, the painting is framed with an acrylic sheet over the piece which hides the actual depth of the work (and distorts my photos). I'm giving a couple of close-ups below in an attempt to show the depth of the technique. For this piece Angie worked in both acrylic and oil on heavy art paper. It is gorgeous.

 
     
And finally, not cutting off the bottom of the painting (Jones kept pulling on my arm as he LOVES Angie)

Please forgive the reflection of the overhead lighting--as you can see in the close-up, the painting has much more depth than the photo represents.

Have a wonderful coming week. I cannot believe than summer is going to be turning into fall soon.... I'm praying that the draught will be coming to an end and that rain is forecast for our parched nation.

  1. Mary I love, love this amazing work of art! Evoking the effects of cloisonne and mosaics, so vivid and exciting.

    It is quite an extra cost; when you have a buyer you might suggest museum quality glass; it does not have the glare and will protect the paper and colors forever.

    1. Hi Karena,
      I'm in complete agreement. Must protect the work with conservation glass.

  2. Hi, Mary -
    This is really wonderful. There is so much movement and depth (despite the glare, which really is unavoidable with many glass / acrylic surfaces....no worries). I agree with Karena....does remind me of mosaics. Thanks for sharing her work with us!
    Best,
    Loi

    1. Hi Loi,
      I'm going to be posting a few other pieces that Angie has created in this same series. I love the life that flows from them. Thanks for your comment.
