Item Description
"Choosing Beauty" oil painting, 10" x 20" with frame by Wendy Higgins
Oil on linen on board. I make my own panels from a Belgian linen glued on to un-tempered masonite. I have been showing on Canyon Road since 2001, with solo shows every year since the first. I now show at Sage Creek Gallery on Canyon Road.
"Choosing Beauty" is named for the realization that my painting career is an apparent choice to rest my attention on beauty; the glorious light that flows over, through, and bounces around objects in space. I am grateful that the attention can be there instead of on some less meaningful work done just because I have to pay the bills. This is a privilege that I am grateful for every day.
