ROUND OF LOVE c Jean Bourque 2013
20x16 acrylic on canvas
My paintings over the past few years have been mostly painted
live in front of an audience and have been mixed media acrylic and pastel on
quality pre-stretched canvas, ready to hang without framing. The size I used most often in my painting live
series was 16 x20 inches. 2013 is a new
year and I find my work is crisper looking, cleaner, lighter and more colorful
like my work from the mid to late 90’s. All
the 2013 works (here) have been created in my home studio and on my back porch.
In the beginning of January, I started out painting 20x16 pre-stretched canvas
using acrylic and textured mediums.

By
the end of the month I found myself drawn back to my childhood passion of
watercolor. Pure, clean and colorful watercolor on paper, an uncomplicated style
mixed with deep level feelings expressing emotional and physical anxiety, pain,
joy, passion, anguish and love. No one knows where each year will take them on
this journey of life. Artsails1 is in
transition. Please join me, the artist Jean Bourque as I explore a deeper existence
filled with meaning and emotion through watercolor, collage and words.

NEW ART 2013....
My painting style is somewhere between impressionism and
abstract with conceptual imagery using symbolism, patterns, and range from
minimalism to multiple layers. The themes you see most often in my work are
faces, hearts, symbols, funky style flowers, spirals, stars, circles, water,
coffee, wine, guitars and bold colors. I typically use Golden acrylics and
mediums, Grumbacher Oils, Montana Gold artists spray paints and various brands
of watercolor and prismacolor pastels for my paintings. I also love drawing and doodling
with sharpies. My secondary process for
mixed media and collage will include a variety of inks, charcoal, pastels, coffee, dyes, tempera paints, water colors,
crayons, oil pastels, various papers, fabrics, feathers, photography, clay and
found papers and objects.
I also do altered books, faux
finishes, found art sculptures, photography and have worked on steel surfaces,
counter tops, furniture, wood, clay, fabric, paper and even ice. When I worked
at the ice skating rink we actually painted the design in the ice between the
layers! YES, I have even driven a Zamboni and made ice. LOL!! Please feel free to comment on my posts and share what you like with friends
and on other websites and social media sites. Thank you!
