Original artwork description:

"Cloud Parade" is an original mixed-media painting that unites the physical landscape with the world of the mind. The sky and ocean are depicted with dramatic color and texture. The piece is composed of several thin layers of wax, ink and oil paint.

The process of creation begins with sourcing imagery from multiple sketches and photographs taken in the field to create an imagined seascape. Informed by the “New Ink Painting Movement'' Blaise's process begins with gestural ink brushwork and fluid washes of color to express a mood; bold, romantic, and dreamy. Delicate veils of oil modulated with cold wax impasto are layered over the ink to balance textural detail with the evocative and ephemeral. Both brushes and palette knives are used to achieve a composition that is both rich in color and luminous in tone.
