Shimmering Dazzling Paintings by Lois Graham

Flux 2007 oil on canvas 32 x 72 in.


Recess 2007 oil on canvas 24 x 24 in.


Twist Stitch 2007 oil on canvas 24 x 48 in.


My neighbor, painter Lois Graham is showing at Foster White Gallery in Seattle. The opening was this past thursday night. These paintings are a concentrated distillation of what she has been doing for many years.

The show is beautiful. The surfaces of the paintings seem to shimmer and dance with points of contrasting colors. I couldn't focus my eyes on the center of "Recess". It's as if they have a sound: a low intense humming vibration.

She is truly an inspiration, at work constantly. Her way of life is painting in her studio. http://www.fosterwhite.com/
