Unconditional Love of Color and Earth
Canadian painter Joan Hill paints in oil, acrylic and watercolor, vivid landscapes and animals that reflect her love for nature. Joan cites the Old Masters and the Color Field Painters of the 1960s as her main influences. She practices a technique called “stain painting," which involves applying a water-diluted mixture of acrylic paint on raw canvas, resulting in a watercolor-like wash. As the colors bleed into one another, Joan achieves a unique marbled effect, almost like melted wax. She likes to keep a certain level of abstraction to the composition and refrains from overly realistic representations. Bright orange flamingoes, cobalt blue herons, periwinkle skies, and forest green pine trees speak of Joan's unconditional love of color. Animals and sceneries come alive through her swift gestural movements and a richly saturated palette. Joan celebrates the majesty of the natural world.
Joan works in series. Following are examples of those series.
