I prefer to paint from life, imagination or memory. I will often set up a still life for an emotional connection and a departure point. I begin by responding to the first mark I make, which leads to another, as I begin to lose myself in the process. Each painting is a unique state of consciousness. There are tensions and balance throughout the painting. I am most interested in reducing a subject down to its’ essential elements. Careful observation and intense study of a subject gives me the opportunity to deliver a more distilled painting. Abstracting unnecessary detail helps me to find the true essence of things. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jan McElhinny","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42758626213982,"sku":"210000090972","price":900.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0102\/0122\/files\/ix8gebggea6qfbwiqkn0_5a2234d2-6acf-495c-b7af-c64fa213a055.jpg?v=1778604727","url":"https:\/\/www.leftbankgallery.com\/products\/glow-8x8-9x9-oil-on-panel-1","provider":"Left Bank Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
