Description

“Drifting Leaves #2″ is an original encaustic and ink painting by Felicia Touhey. This piece, mounted on a ca 2″ thick cradled panel, comes unframed, measures 8″x8,” and weighs approximately 1lb. A delicate multidimensionality of hues characteristic of the encaustic medium attracts and rests the eyes on the pleasant and soft-looking surface of “Drifting Leaves #2.” The piece, which the artist encourages hanging diagonally, in every way induces the hazed attention and sense of comfort associated with watching light objects in the wind. Delicate line-work on hues ranging from low-saturation to a near neon carries the subject.

Touhey’s work is inspired by the organic lines and movements found in nature and her work explores the atmospheric changes in pattern and shadow. She’s been exhibited extensively and is an established Newport artist worth getting to know. Visit her website at http://www.feliciatouhey.com/about.html
