Minimalist

Here I am working with a minimalist mindset - just the bare essentials to express the idea. I am using color as the dominant design element and suggesting a landscape by the division of space. This fits into my newest series "Horizons" and I want to continue working with this theme with varying degrees of simplicity/complexity.

Minimalist Again

Here is the latest of my minimalist paintings. It is acrylic on canvas. I am finding that this minimalist way of painting is really expressing what I want to say, and it is interesting to be able to reduce the painting down to the bare essentials and still feel that I am getting the message across. I love to play with the materials and can go on forever working on a painting, but it is a challenge to reduce it down to a minimum of action. This painting is named "Beside Still Waters"

and is another of my "still places" series. My suggestion for a website to visit is http://ruth-hunter-studio.blogspot.com.
