Dottie T Leatherwood Fine Art

Painting to me is about capturing and preserving the emotion and energy of a moment in time with the simple instruments of brush and paint. Having grown up on the coast, I always draw my inspiration from nature and the bright clear light that I grew up with. My art is all about layers of rich vibrant color and vigorous brushstrokes. I am drawn to patterns and strong shapes and my painting is often more about these observations and less about the subject itself. If I can make the observer feel as though they are immersed and transported through the color and enthusiasm of my painting then I have succeeded.

I am in the middle of lots and lots of large paintings in various stages of completion.  It looks crazy in my studio at the moment.  So here's a little gem of a painting that I did to rest my mind.  :)  Hope it brings you a little peace of mind too!
