Precipice went through several stages, beginning as an aerial view of a harbor, becoming a torrent of water, then being over-simplified to a greyish mist before this image emerged. That's the nature of abstract painting - and of life - to evolve over time with many layers contributing to the whole. I named it Precipice because I felt like I was about to loose my footing and fall off a cliff right up until the moment I placed that sharp horizontal line that gave me something to hold onto. I feel like this painting is a metaphor for life recently, where so many of us have been on the edge of a precipice, wondering if we will fall or be safe. I hope this painting gives you the same sense of safety and reassurance it gives me. Layers of oil and cold wax on 1 5/8" cradled birch panel. Sides are painted to match. 36" x 36" (91 cm x 91 cm) Unframed cradled panel, ready to hang.

“Painting is my lifelong passion. After a childhood filled with art and nine years as a fashion designer, I began studying traditional oil painting in the early 1990’s. I’ve been highly successful as a portrait, wildlife and western artist in the USA and Australia. I’ve pushed the boundaries of realism a bit and diversified my subjects over the years, but mostly stayed in the traditional realism box. I still love to paint the realism subjects I'm most known for. However, in the past few years I’ve found myself at a point in life where I have more to say than can be expressed through realism alone. Life events, losses and discoveries have all contributed to the thoughts that I want to express through my paintings. I’ve been flirting with ideas of abstraction for years, and at last I’ve found the courage to break out of that realism box and explore modern artistic concepts. After a lot of experimenting to discover what Krystii Melaine Modern looks like, a new collection of quietly elegant abstract works is emerging. They incorporate textures, metallic paint, beads, organic forms, lines and stories. I’m expressing my thoughts about life in all its aspects, and these new works will continue to evolve as I do. There are no boundaries. At last I’ve given myself permission to express myself in any way I like. The only rule is it must look fabulous. Come with me on this visual and emotional adventure!” Krystii is a Master Signature Member of the American Women Artists, and a member of the Portrait Society of America. * 26 paintings in museum collections in the USA and Australia. * More than 40 major awards. * Participated in more than 110 museum exhibitions in over 23 different museums. * 30 magazine articles, and appears in four books. * Millions of dollars’ worth of art sold to collectors around the world.
