"And Then I Could Breathe" is a large gestural format non-objective abstract, on canvas. Underpainting of graffiti-inspired marks with gold metallic spray paint, swirls and seemingly random lines in carbon pencil is set with archival satin varnish. Darlene Watson adds unlikely bold hues side by side creating an informal gestural gathering of powerful colour. The entire wonderfully free-spirited abstract intuitively and emotionally created by Watson with her hands. Acrylic mixed media on canvas inspired by nature and the world around Darlene. It could be the simplest of a colour of a leaf or as in-depth as an imagined colour combination. Darlene Watson often works with hues that are not entirely used together. This is the challenge that Watson loves to create magical, unique, bold and daring one of a kind originals. Darlene Watson always creates to the far edges of her works and the sides are always a continuation of her imagination. Signed up the lower right side and back. Darlene Watson's originals invite you to explore and be captivated with shape, lines and colour. With the balance of her imagination and expressing her joy she layers with gestural strokes or moves the paint with her hands alone. She continuously works over the surface of each imagined piece while bringing you along into her artistic world. The joy she feels in creating is shown in all of her works. Darlene's confidence and fulfilment come from her gift of expression, her imagination and tapping into her emotions. She reveals this with her art.
