"I'll be discussing why I paint with acrylics, the materials & subjects that I choose.

Our Very Special Guest for April 6

Picture




​Deb Moffitt won 2nd Place at this years BEAL and Clinton County Combo Show at the Taber Museum.
​I am a Maryland native, growing up near the scenic creeks of eastern Baltimore County. I enjoy capturing the variety of landscapes across my home state, from the Bay marshes and marinas to the rugged landscapes of the Allegany Mountains, from the woodlands and historic mill towns near my current residence to the lively urban centers of the mid-Atlantic region. I am a self-taught plein air painter, participating in a variety of juried shows and winning several awards in local and regional competitions. My intent is to capture the essence of the place and the moment, whether it be an atmosphere of serenity, nostalgia, history, or majesty, whether an intimate scene or a grand vista. The interplay of light and shadow over forms captures my attention and imagination, and my hope is to communicate that vision and what it means to me through the joy of painting.

The Merging of 2 Art Forms

I'm enjoying the moods and color combinations that I can create. My paintings are somewhat organic in nature and seem well suited to be “married” with my images of the natural world. I've found that I can improve compositions by allowing the top image to hide some of the 'unsuitable' details in the bottom image. I have a large catalogue of paintings using many color schemes. I strive to create new colors when combining painting photographs with landscape photographs. I frame these composite images the same way I frame my paintings. No glass is involved. The photographic print is mounted on the same material I use for my paintings (Masonite) and is protected by 5 coats of varnish.
