Deborah Conn - Red Energy

Painter Deborah Conn says "My favorite piece hanging in November's Show is “Red,” the head of a fellow artist at a workshop I attended. I used  paper that I had first painted with thick, white gesso – kind of the consistency of wet plaster – and my brush strokes created strong texture. When I started painting her face, it was so exciting the way she emerged from the page, looking right at me. I think the rough, swirly surface gives her face and flyaway hair the energy that is so much a part of this woman’s personality."
