BoldBrush Recommends: Diane Van NoordGet Notified When Diane Posts New Art BiographyMy paintings are about using paint to express freedom, my personal freedom, and my artistic freedom which are all very important parts of my life that I have come to value and cherish, especially over the last several years. I follow my heart in the studio, trust my instincts, paint with excellence as my goal, and use my knowledge of composition to create works that challenge me in new ways. My experiences of having painted landscapes with palette knives for many years continues to find new ways of expression. And that makes me smile. I share with you this quote from Antoine De Saint-Exupery - "And now here is my secret, a very simple secret; It is only with the heart that one can see rightly. What is essential is invisible to the eye." "My paintings are wordless, colorful short stories about the inspiration and beauty of our natural world." "I have a very light touch with my painting tools, using both brushes and palette knives in most of my work. The combination of brushwork and palette knives gives me the ability to create illusion in the background for increasing the sense of depth and distance, and more definition in the foreground and middle ground." _______ Diane began painting in oil in 1998. Having painted with watercolors for thirteen years before that when she first started painting, she began to feel a need to paint with a different medium that would help her bring more personal meaning to her paintings. She tried acrylics, mixed media, and pastels, and then found painting in oil with palette knives to be a great artistic fit for her way of working. Some years ago, Diane began experimenting by adding cold wax medium and mixed media materials such as beach sand to her oil paints. The varied surface textures she could create opened the door for her to interpret and paint landscapes in a more abstracted way, adding a more contemporary dimension to her paintings. "I love for there to be a feeling of movement through my landscapes. By layering the paint in a certain manner, and at the end using texturing tools to expose some of the underlying paint, a sense of movement brings a contemporary feel and rhythm to the work."
