Item Description
One gorgeous framed moody floral, titled Surrounded by Grace, 20x24 inch original painting by Westwood Charter mom, Sali Swalla. https://www.saliswalla.com/
"I am a painter of imagined landscapes and gardens. Through them I strive to make tangible the intangible, just beyond our reach, spiritual side of nature. I am drawn to the close up nooks and crannies of a garden, the whimsy of a bouquet and the horizon line where tree and flower meet Sky. They imbue me with a sense of communing with the Divine in a kind of active mediation. I wish for my work to allow others to experience the same and to see more than what is right in front of them.
I work in the mediums of oil paint and cold wax in a process driven style. I start with many multiple layers of oil paint and cold wax; building a history and depth, alternating between opaque and translucent, organic and structured, warm and cool, big and small. I use a variety of tools – brayers, squeegees, palette knives, ceramic tools, stencils and razor blades to lay down these layers over many days, allowing each layer to fully dry. Eventually these layers are covered over and then scraped and carved back into to reveal the piece’s final form and true nature. Like a mystery revealed, my work becomes a diary of my experiences in the world as well as a dream of how I’d like the world to be."
