Even though there are several Katherine Hildens out there, I was lucky to get the domain name. Keep it simple. For a long time, I actually didn’t want a web site for my fine art at all because I felt elitist about that. I caved in a couple of months ago, launched the web site and only now realized that I need to let people know about it. Ta-tah!
I documented the paintings outside in my yard on overcast days so as to avoid glare and shadows. The glare would be caused by sunlight hitting oil paint and the shadows would be caused by the extreme texture of the painting surfaces in this series. So, it’s the shots from over-cast days that are shown on the web site.
But I really relish the texture, loved working on these paintings and couldn’t resist shooting details in bright sun light, when the thick impasto cast deep shadows. Above, a passage from one of my paintings, shot at high noon.
