Diana Smith, Chaco, Acrylic, 12x12"

Q:What is the inspiration for your 12x12 piece?Diana Smith: I have chosen a very warm, butbright palette, reminding me of the colors of the New Mexico landscape theninterjected the wild wolf into this landscape. My vision is to create apleasant, comforting place, while portraying the dignity and presence of thecanine.
Q:As a mixed media artist, is there a particular medium you prefer above theothers?DS: This new body of work feels like acleansing. I have put aside collage and mixed media which were incorporated inmy work for years. Now I’m concentrating on paint, only including a few linesof suggestion with charcoal. I am delving back into abstract composition, wheremy formal training began, and adding just a touch of figurative.
