Not For Sale
Only after this painting was complete did I realize how the figure sits in bas-relief against the very shallow picture plane. That’s now one of my favourite aspects of the piece; it reminds me of the glazed terracotta rondelles of the 15th century Florentine artist Luca della Robbia. But my colouration is not like his blue, gold and ivory; that will have to be for another painting!

Oiseau lives and paints in the mountains of British Columbia, Canada. While she focuses primarily on portraiture and the figure, plein air landscape painting is also an important part of her practice and inspiration.
"In painting as in life, whatever distance you travel just opens up further vistas for exploration. Subtleties, bold statements, complexities of relationships, colour, colour, colour. I wish I could paint forever!"
