Happy Thursday!
I hope everyone is fervently praying for a storm from the rainclouds on the horizon today because we definitely need it! While we wait for the flood, I want to share a bit about an artist whose work I fell in love with while on vacation in Florida earlier this month:
On vacation with my family in Seaside, Florida, I stumbled upon the works of
Justin Gaffrey, a Walton County local with a painting style all his own. Though he does technically use paint, acrylic paint to be exact, his website is much more accurate when they describe him as someone who "sculpts with paint" rather than someone who simply paints. To really understand and appreciate the dynamic feel and textures of his work one has to see them in person, however, you can get an idea through the picture above. What really interested me about his paintings is the different aesthetics you experience just based on how you look at them. From a distance, they are beautifully vibrant landscapes but, up close, they are a mass of different textures, shades and shapes that one could study for hours and never feel bored. To put it simply, I am a fan of Justin Gaffrey!
Take a look at the rest of Justin's work and learn more about his style at
www.justingaffrey.com and thanks for all of the rain prayers, it looks like they're being heard!
Until Next Time,
The Davis & Blevins Gallery Team
