Backyard Pool Series II"     ( 8" x 10", Palette Knife Oil on Canvas )

 

The spring of 2014, again focusing on the artist’s own backyard pool, in central Palm Springs,
as inspiration,  Reginald Van Pelt captures and records the beautiful quality of the desert light, attempting to replicate the clarity of the subject matter. Conveying; the crispness, brightness, Technicolor type of imagery available due to the lack of moisture distortion experienced elsewhere. Van Pelt’s works convey a peaceful solitude acknowledging the expansiveness of the environmental connection.  Done on 16 small scale canvases, Van Pelt uses large & small palette knives to apply heavy layers of paint to record the subtle changes in light and shifts in brilliancy of color.              “I strive to convey a sense of place, of time, of being”,  R. Van Pelt
