Original Oil by Laurel Hart Art Size: 6” x 6” Framed Size: 11” x 11” Artist Statement: As an artist I am more interested in expressing the emotional excitement I feel for a subject than in creating a photorealistic rendering of it; consequently my paintings lean more to impressionism than realism. Painting for me is a way to communicate feelings that can't be expressed through words alone. Any subject is game for my brush as long as it is beautifully lit. In truth, light is always the subject I find most exciting, as it breathes life and beauty into anything it touches. This is the spiritual implication art has for me. My painting mantra is found in the prayer of Leonardo Da Vinci: “May it please the Lord, Light of all things, To show me the way, So that I may paint light worthily.” I consider it the greatest of privileges to be an artist--to notice the glorious creations around me, to capture them on paper or canvas, and to share my passion for life through my artwork.
