Fine Art Painting of the Day

Deborah Bays prepares her pastel
compositions as she did when preparing theatre staging in the beginning of her
career. “As westerners,” she explains …”we read from left to right, I carefully
block in my still life objects with this in mind. Like dealing with stage
space, I consider an interesting object on the left but illuminate more
brightly another object in the upper-right corner of the painting, creating two
focal points of interest in a diagonal line.”
Deborah also creates her
compositions with mathematical prowess. Utilizing the ancient Golden Mean Theory, she often uses a
predefined spot on a grid to balance interest. Deborah like artists, architects and composers from the past
who practiced this theory, uses this technique to solve her problems of object
placement to create a pleasing fine art painting.
She is inspired by the painting
masters, Degas, Caravaggio and Vermeer but equally inspired by musical composers
to guide her creativity from Beethoven to Mozart. Bays says the music inspires
order and beauty because it possess a language that features color, chords and
tempo like her paintings.
