Reflections of A Moment
August 8th to 22nd
A Gallery & Virtual Exhibition of New Paintings in Pastel by
Denise Nonomura
"I paint the light and colour of a moment in time. These moments can sometimes be fleeting, but they leave an impression on my mind and I am drawn to record the beauty through my chosen medium of soft pastel. The reflections that bounce off an object when light hits it will reflect some of its own colour on a surface, leaving a bit of itself there. I love finding those colours in reflections, but reflections on water particularly interest me and are the focus of this exhibit.
I am drawn to water and the reflections that play there. They dance, tease, break and join again, create ribbons of colour and dare me to make out shapes. They are ever changing – just like life itself.
The smooth as glass water on a clear day reflects like a mirror while ripples in the water create wonderfully fun reflections. They are fluid, graceful and oh so temporary. They flow with the movement of the object or the water. They can be mesmerizing. Moving, choppy water will reflect the sky and the colours seen in the prism of light. We see both through it and see the reflection from above almost at once. Even on a cloudy or misty day when the reflections are partially obscured and softened, we can experience those reflections with an added element of mystery, quiet and peace.
I invite you to enjoy my exhibition and experience the reflections of a moment in time." Denise
