I have been painting with acrylics
since 1995, inspired by themes similar to those of my silk
paintings, but employing the changes of technique that
acrylics offer. Generally, when working in acrylic, I tend
to proceed in a manner opposite of that which I use with
the silk medium. This allows me to use a different
approach, working from darker to lighter colours. When
painting on board or canvas, I prefer to prime the surface
with burnt sienna which gives a warm background colour. In
contrast to silk paintings which always progress from
light to dark colours, acrylic paintings start with dark
colours and with layers of paint, building depth and
space. I do very much enjoy the freedom of being able to
paint over surfaces to enhance and alter my work as the
need arises. Today, my preference is to work on oil
paintings. -- Ofra Strength Oil on stretched canvas, 36 inch by 36 inch C$2000 The Fog Oil on stretched canvas, 24 inch by 36 inch Sold Promising New Day 30 inch by 30 inch Sold Power Sky - Gold Oil on stretched canvas, 13 inch by 13 inch C$400 Power Sky - Silver Oil on stretched canvas, 13 inch by 13 inch C$400 Reds and Yellows 16 inch by 24 inch Sold On the Trail Oil on stretched canvas, 30 inch by 30 inch C$1500 Transformation Oil on stretched canvas, 20 inch 40 inch Sold Bell Lake Island Oil on stretched canvas, 20 inch by 40 inch C$1400 Windy Summit Oil on stretched canvas, 24 inch by 36 inch C$1400 O.S.A.
