Many
artists travel far from their studios to capture
their experiences with nature in painting. Lenore
McDonald perfers a different approach. She depicts
the nature that exists in urban settings, the grass
and trees, sky and water, visible between buildings
and through windows.....
Abstract expressionists
and color-field painters of the 1950s and 1960s
made a huge impact on the style
of art she creates. They concentrated on
brush movement and the placement of color, as opposed
to rendering subjects as realistically as possible,
to create meaning. McDonald was drawn to these
movements because even though their works are
abstract, she could find landscapes within them.
