Original Painting by Maxine Masterfield Mixed Media
Original watercolor/ mixed media -'Spirit of Nature. Framed measurements - 21"W x 19"H. Maxine Masterfield - (1933 -). Over 63 years ago I decided I would dedicate my life to becoming a fine artist. I was 16 at the time and never realized the hard work it would involve. I struggled through art school but never gave up, and by studying the various styles of other artists they helped me find my own voice. I couldnt afford paints or canvas, so I had to use whatever I could find hardware, brushes, rags and sponges. I found it difficult to paint details which led me on the path of experimental painting. My inspirations for my work comes from many different places and experiences from visiting a machine museum where I became obsessed with transmission parts to discovering the images in sliced agates, lace, pressed flowers, or cracks in a sidewalk. Experiences or objects can start me down a path of experimenting with different materials sprayed, splattered or poured.
