Judith Reeve, “Headland, Gray Day,” 30″ x 42″, oil on linen
Painting is an immersive experience that lies between a response to the beauty of the world and an inward manifestation of intense emotion. When I was younger, I sought to paint this immense beauty as a visually accurate outpouring of changing effects seen through the lens of my emotive response. Now that I am older and have more lived experience, I am searching for something more profound, hidden, and sublime. Inness expressed it as “the undefinable …that which hides itself that we may feel after it.” I am more conscious of my fragility amid the vastness of the cosmos- that golden thread that holds me here, in this place, during this moment, allowing me to embrace such sublime beauty, given as a gift, and express it in paint.
Judith Reeve, “Breakers,” 22 x 30, oil on linen
My paintings have changed on this journey. I find that I am searching for an open awareness, a harmonious unity that holds my experience in a meditative stasis. The painting itself becomes that gateway that not only reveals my self, what I am conscious and unconscious of, but allows that experience to be shared and felt by others. I hope to reveal and impart the very thing I love about the paintings of others- their ability to act as windows open to a new awakening, a transformation of the self. “Beauty depends upon the unseen- the visible upon the invisible.” [Inness]
