This Land

Wonderful piece. Had it mounted and framed so everything shows, and is now displaying proudly in our formal dining room.

Hi everyone! Surround Me, the painting purchased by T Clary, is about a kind of peace in chaos. It can be interpreted as giving into defeat and asking for it to finally engulf completely, or as a cry for help towards renewel. The chaos comes from the blurred background of mixing hues. The red part of the simplified tree branch is the healthy body while the black branch represents creeping decay/defeat. I certainly hope you are all enjoying your work and finding your own meanings within it. Thanks for your purchases!!

Surround Me

Hello Rachel, We're enjoying our new painting and I was hoping you could share your thoughts about it. I'll continue to check UGallery for your work.

Thank you for your amazing comments! Some of these paintings are certainly harder for me to say goodbye to and send off to their new homes! Janet, Waterbloom was one of my very favorites. When I heard she sold, I got goosebumps! I am so happy you are enjoying her and seeing beyond the surface of the painting. I think you would love my monotype watercolor screenprints. They have beautiful subtleties and the whiteness of the paper gives them so much inner light. Thank you all for supporting the growing artists of Ugallery's site!

Lover's Rant

Hi Rachel, I love your work. It’s hard for me to afford original art but I found myself going to the Ugallery site to click on your work to just look at it. Your paintings are very evocative for me. They are not “in your face” or judgmental, they just seem honest. I find them subtle and real. I hope you paint more because my walls are looking like they need even more Guests’! I must say the painting “Waterbloom” is outrageously great. I figure you saw Monet’s Water lilies. When I went to Paris, I saw Monet’s work. We had to wait in line to get in and everyone was chatting and making noise. When we finally got into the museum and saw Water Lilies, a hush fell over the crowd. We sat down and drank it in. I feel that way about your painting. I can just watch it. It’s profound. Thank you for it. Janet.

I picked up my newly framed piece "primary faiths" yesterday. It is absolutely beautiful!! Several people made very positive remarks about your work & I referred them to you via Ugallery. Wishing you great success. K.

notes:

This piece is also available as a Paperwork print. Check it out >

"This Place is Not What I Expected" was a breakthrough for Rachel Guest. The creation process she devised for this particular piece is dynamic and unpredictable. As the title suggests, the print is not what Rachel had initially expected. Rachel went on to title her Senior Exhibition Show after the work, the first of it's kind. She recalls that "it helped me let go of controlling the painting and let things happen as they will."

"This Place Is Not What I Expected" is a 15" x 22" one-of-a-kind monoprint created using a hybrid of watercolor painting and screenprinting.
