“Be <strong>no</strong>t afraid of ruining the canvas with paint, but of the canvas remaining void of life.”<br />
Welcome new artist, Donna Hayes, <strong>Art</strong> by D. Louise and her Renditions of Grey, RoG<br />
As an over achieving perfectionist, the above quote was the angst that D. Louise struggled to overcome.<br />
D. Louise<br />
Born with an intensely creative nature, while being an over achieving perfectionist, made evolving into the world of art nearly impossible.<br />
Not wanting to be defined by others, she refrained from fully allowing herself to discover the beauty behind the brush, as if one errant<br />
stroke from beyond the box would somehow destroy the canvas forever. It was by chance, while her daughter was taking subject<br />
matte photographs in early 2012 with what was supposed to be a silly guileless grey filter, that she found her niche, pushed aside her<br />
fears and began to create… It was then, that Renditions of Grey (RoG) was born.<br />
Using an 18/0 Spotter brush, magnifying glass, three simple colors (white, black and grey) and a little texture from time to time,<br />
D. Louise has created some of the most brilliant works of art… From equine, canine, portraits, landscapes, architecture, planes,<br />
trains and automobiles; if she can capture it behind the grey lens, she can bring it to life on canvas.<br />
Many of her works are originally photographed and then painted by D. Louise herself… However, some are inspired by other<br />
photographers, who have graciously granted D. Louise permission to recreate their photography in her Renditions of Grey, <strong>no</strong>tably<br />
such greats as; Giuseppe Pasquali, Raphael Macek and Jan Fialkowski.<br />
Prior to RoG, her works included billboards, restaurants and hotel re<strong>no</strong>vations signage, portraits and murals. Her most recent mural,<br />
proudly displayed at El Cami<strong>no</strong> Hospital in Los Gatos, CA is shown in the bottom right photo; a 9’x5’ vineyard scene with insects and<br />
wildlife for the biggest of “Where’s Waldo” fan. D. Louise prefers to paint with acrylics, easy clean up and fast drying.<br />
Now settled in the Pacific North West, just outside of the Seattle area, her future plans are to open her own posh art gallery and wine<br />
tasting venue, where patrons may come and relax with a variety of wines & exquisite Bourbons from around the world, while perusing<br />
her and other artists’ works.<br />
She is currently promoted throughout the US, Canada, New Zealand, Italy and Japan. Critics such as professional photographer Mary<br />
Miller have described her works as “Riveting, having the remarkable quality that ignites conversation... Compelling, possessing dimension,<br />
depth, and boundless power... Awe inspiring.”, likewise, artist Kristina Heredia states, “Her work grabbed my attention immediately!<br />
It is unique and so dramatic”. See full interview is available at: http://kristinaheredia.com/blog/63001/interview-artist-donna-l-hayesof-renditions-of-grey<br />
and Richard. V. Whaley, authored poet states, “D. Louise and her Renditions of Grey style have brought life to the<br />
canvas in a starkly refreshing departure from the status-quo”.<br />
