Creatures

This large super bright textured abstract landscape filled with happy playful creatures (including a few native animals and a few nocturnal ones) provides companionship, comfort, memories, curiosity, intrigue and warmth to the viewer throughout the day and the night. I have spotted a cat, possum, penguin, emu, dolphin and owl in the painting. They seemed to appear out of nowhere as I was painting. Can you see anymore?

This painting appeared in Curation by Grace Lye in August 2019 about affordable art - "The word 'affordable' in the art world touches on a number of areas, and is often misunderstood. It could be the unsung hero that lies within a high-profile artist's portfolio; it might relate to the size of the piece, or, perhaps, artwork that exudes talent from an emerging artist yet to be fully discovered."

"I see the world and I paint it" Kathy Best

Kathy creates bold, expressive acrylic abstracts and contemporary paintings based on observation of the world around her. She sometimes paints loosely from reference photos or memory. Other times she lets the paint and marks on the canvas guide her. Kathy’s works explore colour relationships, movement, shapes and layers.

Kathy has been painting consistently since 2008 under the guidance of many tutors. She is continuously learning and thinking of new ideas.
