About The Artwork

In this oil painting I explore the exhilaration of movement as the forms sweep across the canvas in an arc. Complex swirling patterns and wave patterns are seen in many aspects of nature including clouds and water. It is open to the imagination to interpret where the action is taking us. My work is influenced by years of canoeing and kayaking the lakes and rivers of the Canadian Shield, and walking in green spaces close to home in Ottawa, Canada. I have explored many paths in my journeys, both wondrous and disturbing. I want to share my deep respect and awe for the complexities of nature in a way that allows contemplation of meaning. I use mainly palette knife and occasionally brush to apply layers of oil paint to the stretched canvas. This technique creates lively surface textures that suggest shifting light and movement. "Riding the Wave" began with an added layer of acrylic modelling paste applied directly to the gessoed canvas in order to heighten the texture of the oil paint applied on top. Professional artist-grade quality oil paint is used, and the painting is stretched, wired, and ready to hang. It is signed by Juliana McDonald on the back, giving details of title, size, materials, and place of creation (Ottawa, Canada). The edges are cleanly finished in white acrylic paint so that the work does not need to be framed, yet can be if so desired.

Canadian Landscape Artist. Oil painting and large-scale paper works. Born in London, ON, Canada. Raised and currently living in Ottawa, Canada. Member of Enriched Bread Artists Studios in Ottawa, ON, Canada since 2000. My paintings are held in the City of Ottawa Public Art Collection, as well as many private, corporate, and public collections. They include the Canadian Medical Protective Association, Ottawa, Canada, Dr. Stephen M. Earle Dentistry, Ottawa, Canada, and Insight Talent Advisors Inc., Ottawa, Canada. My oil paintings on canvas are driven by ecological issues involving loss of habitat of pollinating insects, especially the Monarch butterfly. My nature-based themes include illusive qualities of water, sky, and land. They focus on the importance of protecting nature and, hence, our own existence on the planet. My paintings usually begin with a detail from my photos or sketches while walking in green spaces close to home or canoeing in the Canadian Shield. I use mainly palette knife to apply layers of oil paint to the stretched canvas. This technique creates active, lively surfaces that suggest shifting light and complex detail. My intention is to awaken a deep appreciation and awe for the wonders of nature.
