The Long Pond Series of paintings carries forward my interest in alchemy and abstraction from the previous body of work. Moving from Philadelphia to the natural surroundings of the Berkshires has played a significant role in this series. Being immersed in this stunning environment has taught me to breathe deeply and to visualize the environment in my painting. As I relax and become part of the lush landscape, my painting also is shifting. The region's light, air and color slowly are seeping onto the canvas. The morning dew wakes me with phthalo blue and sap green. The unfolding clearlight influences the color and texture of the painting surfaces. These abstract paintings are created with oil paint on stretched silk. Many layers of paint are poured. In between pours the imagery is edited using brushes and sandpaper.

« The alchemical and physical processes of painting are the foundation of my creative practice. » Virginia Bradley is a distinguished American contemporary, abstract painter. Bradley's research into natural phenomena, geological and oceanographic formation serves as a starting point for her abstract works. Like an alchemist she transforms the work through the use of diverse materials and physical acts. Virginia adds and subtracts into the painting surface by pouring paint, sanding, drawing and printing while simultaneously experimenting with chemical reactions to the surface. Thus her studio becomes a laboratory for experimentation, an athanor for the interaction of diverse materials. She repeats these processes until the piece evolves into a finished state of multiple luminous layers, referring to water, the richness of the air and the unknown and attaining a higher level of physicality and contemplation.
