recent work by Cathy McIntire
Cathy McIntire's painting technique is influenced by her love of drawing and her years working with watermedia. She has challenged herself to develop expertise in various subject matter that includes the figure, animals, landscapes, still life, abstract design, and more. She feels she has come full circle by returning to her first love, the figure. Recent work focuses on emotion in her subject. She uses facial expression and physical posture to visually describe just enough to make the viewer imagine more. Color is generally subtle, line quality is important as she allows it to peek through the layers of paint. Sometimes she adds line to the top layers with charcoal or paint. Surface texture is added to create visual tension and dimension.
Her paintings are created on gallery wrap canvas and cradled wood panels. Smaller works are created on archival panels.
