In creating her art, Renea uses various-sized pallet knives to blend a variety of rich, jewel-toned colors. She then swirls the paint onto the canvas to create a beautiful blend of colors that transform into leaves. On a side canvas, she shapes and contours paint into a multitude of sculptured oil flowers and delicately transfers them onto the leaves that she has already created. Once the paint is partially dry, she applies a glaze, which gives the painting a glass-like appearance. Depending on the size of the canvas, Renea’s sculpted flowers can be two or three inches high, and create this mesmerizing 3-D effect.
