Description
“How to Shine Like the Sun” by Laureen Marchand is one in her occasional series of paintings that combines still life with elements of abstraction and natural history. That great wingspan of the female Baltimore Oriole seems to be intent on not only lighting up the sky but saving it. Not usually considered as attention getting as her male counterpart, she’s as bright as the source of light itself.
Laureen Marchand says, “Though my paintings are representational, they aren’t just about surface appearance. I believe that if I can paint someone or something so it looks the most like itself, I might help viewers see not just the painting’s subject, but themselves in it. I believe that without an essential understanding of our own beauty and the beauty of our experience, we can’t appreciate the value of what we encounter.”
