Rosina Maize
Painting with oil is my passion. Having studied watercolor, drawing, colored pencil, pen and ink, and many other media, I am now dedicating all of my energy to oil painting. The strong brush strokes and partially mixed colors of the California Impressionists inspire me. It is almost magical to be able to capture harmonious colors with all their subtle nuances. I look for the complicated play of light and shadows to create the sense of three dimensions on a two dimensional surface or to describe the mood of a special place or time of day. Above all, the challenge is to create a sense of connection between the viewer and the subject. The painting tells the story of one moment in time and place, and invites the viewer to become part of that moment.
