Paint as Sculpture

Oh my!  The work of Leslie Wayne is amazing!  She uses oil paints, applying them in solid layers.  Then, while still malleable, she pushes the barely wet layers of paint into 3D hills, vallies, and undulations.

Is that cool, or what?  I recently saw her work at the Foosaner Art Museum, in Melbourne, FL.  The exhibit runs through March 17th and I HIGHLY recommend it!  Be sure to check out her website, as well.

The layers of paint remind me of layers of fabric.  I might have to do some experimenting.
