They have multiple strokes where the color is built up to capture the effects of light as it plays across the surface of the color and texture. But unlike the impressionists, Lamore is not attempting to capture an impression of a scene. Instead like the Abstract Expressionists, Lamore is unconcerned with subject matter and primarily concerned with capturing a mood and the process of painting. \u201cMy goal with my art is to paint a specific mood so that the viewer can immerse themselves within it. \u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In this series the fields of color on the heavily painted surfaces appear to refract and break apart, showing multiple layers of color that move and dance across the surface.\u00a0 The entire painting is done with a palette knife. A technique that Lamore has used for four years now. She applies layer upon layer of oil paint, making the colors merge and flow.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cBy removing all structure and subject matter and just focusing on how light plays across the surface of colors, my refracted color fields allow me to be more spontaneous and fluid.\u00a0 Hopefully this will allow you, the viewer, to visually step into them and meander awhile.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Born in Los Angeles, California,\u00a0Linda Lamore began painting at the age of eleven.
