Donna MacDonald is an “alla prima” painter, painting wet
into wet and uses expressive and loose brushstrokes. She works in both acrylic
and oil, using a vibrant colour palette and incorporates texture into many of
her figurative paintings. Her intention is to tell a story and maybe spark a
memory of perhaps a walk in the park or a day at the beach. Although representational she doesn’t want to
tell the whole story of her figures. Her
impressionistic style is meant to draw the viewer into the painting as a
participant.
Although she is primarily self taught, she attends several
workshops and classes a year including those of well known local artists Jean
Pedersen, Karin Richter and Doug Swinton.
She recently traveled to Colorado
to attend workshops from master painters Daniel Gerhartz, Scott Burdick and
Sherrie McGraw whose work is an inspiration. She believes in the continued
study of weekly life drawing as a way to keep her artistic eye trained.
As an added bonus painting has somehow provided relief from
almost daily migraines which she has suffered for over thirty years. She
believes she is doing what she was always meant to do and feels blessed to
follow her dreams.
