Laurie Potter original acrylic painted on torn-edge heavy paper, mounted to 1/8" thick basswood, varnished, and ready to hang as is, or be framed at your discretion.
My paintings are an expression of my love for our beautiful natural world and its inhabitants. What I create in my artwork is driven by my passion for the infinitely interesting colors and forms that I see while spending time outdoors.
I enjoy painting wildlife, botanicals, and landscapes inspired by the Pacific Northwest as well as my travels in many parts of North America and beyond. My buying work is representational as well as expressive - I want to portray the natural world with an eye for detail, yet I also enjoy capturing character, in a scene, and personality, in an animal subject. As I continue to portray my subject matter in a fairly realistic manner, I'm also developing exciting ways of creating a loose, painterly atmosphere, border, or background in my artwork. My most current work reflects this exploration into a greater diversity of mood and texture. Approaching my paintings with a playful, spontaneous attitude and finishing with areas of more focused detail gives me more than just an image but rather a story, a metaphor, or a somewhat abstracted reality.
