Reverse oil painting on Glass. 9" x 12" image
e final studio is where Fay paints. Some
of her works on canvas have both elements
of realism, landscape, and abstract, such
as "Tapestries of My Mind — Wrapped
Red Duck," where at first glance you see a
collection of ornate waves, perhaps a mountain
range, but on closer look, folds in fabric are
revealed. In her works on glass, full abstract
is painted on one side but viewed from the
reverse side of the glass. e technique really
highlights the brush strokes in the painting
and her perfectly balanced color choices.
We settle down again in her living room to
wrap up our studio visit. She tells me of how
her life is in transition, but it's clear that she's
excited about what is to come. Finishing
her wire sculpture series will keep her busy
for a bit longer, but she's ready for the next
project. She's not sure what that will be, but
she welcomes the challenge and keeps her
eyes and ears open for that next spark of
inspiration.
