"The Good Life" Series by Gail Johnson
August 21 - September 15, 2023

"In this collection of paintings, I have added several new works to my ongoing "The Good Life" series, which often is inspired by treasured objects from my home, vivid flowers in vases, and fruit and vegetables which strongly reference my many years of organic farming. The more abstract floral landscapes seem to just emerge from the canvas on their own, and are rendered totally from memories of working in those expansive fields. I desire my work to be easily accessible, to reflect a sense of the goodness in life and to impart a sense of wholesome joy into their new homes.
Oil or Acrylic paint on canvas provide inexhaustible opportunities for me to express these feelings, often using bold compositions and saturated colour. I love to "push paint" around, exploring what will materialize on the canvas in a magical combination of intention and serendipity.
Ever fasinating for me is paint's ready willingness to render such beauty - and its ability to transform instantly at the slightest touch of my brush -- like liquid thought."
