Agate Artist Kirsten Elizabeth Gilmore (b. 1978)

摘要

When I first viewed Kirsten Elizabeth Gilmore's works online, I wondered how she could do such wonderful paintings of agates. She has put several of the steps involved in creating these paintings on her website (www.paintingsbykegilmore.com ). Gilmore pours acrylic paints directly on wood and then "tilts the panel so the colored bands can stretch and merge." She says that "the exciting part to me is that these paintings continue to move and change colors as they dry. Pastel-looking, wet puddles transform into translucent layers of vivid colors and subtle, organic patterns."
