Bliss Painting

Terry Kruse Abstract Landscapes Fluid/no brush art …sometimes floral, sometimes landscape, always nature inspired… Terry Kruse is a Canadian Artist who creates flowing dreamscapes reminiscent of a fabulous garden, mountain retreat or a tropical vacation. The art is created to bring joy through the lively images these pieces reflect. Her process involves the manipulation of canvas with instinctive, controlled pouring of acrylic paints, usually requiring several pours, each affecting the viscosity of the proceeding layers. This layering changes the palette, creating vibrant colours with rich hues, while showing tremendous movement and depth. The lively art somehow breaths and has a visual texture that can’t be created with a brush. "It was when I let the paint flow and blend that I was truly able to express the joy and freedom I was missing in other forms of art. Pouring helped the composition evolve in a choreography between me, the artist, and the paints. With freedom of movement came an overall satisfaction from a disciplined aesthetic balance. Magically, I am able to create a visual texture with elements, fine lines and blending that can’t be created with a brush. And because of this distinctive method each piece is truly one of a kind, exclusive, unrepeatable, somehow living in a world of its own." The Paintings Inspired by nature, this love is a constant connection. While many contemporary artists create art to make people uncomfortable, Terry prefers to share joy and finds that people express a perception of warmth and happiness when viewing her art.
