Another in artist, Sheila Howell's, series of visually textured Paintings. When asked why she continues to paint these smooth works that appear so textured, Sheila says "They fascinate me. I love the way these works start out as just two or three colours on my palette. I never know how the painting will look until it's finished. I take a huge leap of faith and just paint letting my intuition take over."
Many people tend to see different images hidden in these paintings. Some of the images are placed there deliberately by Sheila and some end up in the finished painting either by chance or she says, "Maybe it's subconscious. Who knows for sure?"
"Gentle Memories" is painted on gallery wrap canvas and the sides are painted black. All hanging hardware is attached and the painting has been given a protective, archival coating. If you are in the Uptown Saint John area, Sheila welcomes visitors to her studio by chance or you can call ahead.
