Artist's Notes
"WHITEFACE" (2017)
Each painting has a unique story and love from the heArt!! The process starts with my love of nature and the details that encapsulate me on a daily basis. The heArtful canvases are created by (me) Veronica de Saint Phalle. Each canvas is created with acrylic paint, a variety of brushes and other techniques that I try - some work others don’t… always challenging…
What was I thinking? Painting Whiteface mountain in VT and creating a landscape of our backyard? How was I possibly going to do that? But I wanted to challenge myself and learn techniques.
I began painting this 74 inch by 32 inch canvas I admit - I was feeling a bit overwhelmed… but I pursued, persevered, and patiently painted with brushes I barely knew the names of - a filbert, a round, a flat, a detail, a fan, an Angle…. And soon the trees and grass and textures emerged - leaves were on the ground, and a few left on the maple tree… Our aptly named "Frost" tree came to life - it is our biggest pine who loves to dance in the breeze… soon the four seasons started to evolve with strokes of my many brushes… this is fun I though.
In the early summer we have sumac bushes with beautiful red berries - but the squirrels eat them - or birds - but they have lasted the longest in the Whiteface painting…
The sky is all about Pink in the Morning sailor heed warning and Pink at night - we know how that story goes… so this painting can be a sunrise or sunset… and we get some the most beautiful right where we are… this was a challenge but in the end very satisfied...
Adding the details where they needed to be - I almost forgot the giraffe.
Yes, that’s right a giraffe…it lives in the hills only in the winter - when it snows there is an outline of a giraffe in the distance and it can only be seen in one spot going down our road… So this has given Whiteface a whole new look...
