Rhythmatic Patterns (Sylvia Smith)

This painting suggests dreamlike memories of cherished summer lakeside vacations. The use of the repeated pattern provides almost postcard-like images of the scene. Calligraphy is created with alcohol inks to suggest letters to friends or perhaps a poem written by the lake. Using bright, vibrant acrylic colors of blues, turquoise, greens, and golden yellows further establish the warm summer feeling.
