Artist Blog 20: Christine Krainock


Christine Krainock's art attracted me because of the actual texture used in her artwork. From the looks of her artwork it seems that she uses a lot of paint to give her art somewhat of a three dimensional effect. At first I thought she used real flower pedals to create flowers. Krainock's inspiration is nature and the beauty nature gives the planet. 

I love the flowers. I love the scale of the flowers; how they are large in the center and slowly shrink as they reach the end of the branch. The main objects of the painting are the flowers. Krainock attracts the viewer’s attention to the flowers by creating a darker color background. The background is interesting. She uses natural, neutral colors to create a warm environment. The brush strokes in the background create a great actual texture to the art. All the strokes have a different color, depending on where the strokes are they are darker or lighter. Toward the center of the piece the strokes are lighter creating a sunlight effect on the painting.
