Acclimation
Jaime Ellsworth "Acclimation" New Paintings
Jaime Ellsworth
July 11, 2012 - August 5, 2012
6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.

     Simple forms  are consistent in all of Ellsworth's artwork where  she enjoys working in series  offering relationships, discovery and contrasts while creating visual situations  from everyday experiences and observations.

"Although I  begin with a clear idea of what I am trying to achieve the paintings  actually emerge  from what I already know and what I learn along the way.  Each new series  directs the path I take and the journey is welcomed."

Her  paintings are built of many thin layers of oil starting with a limited palette  of bold colors on large canvases or wood panels.  Subsequent layers allow the  under paint to peek through and transparent glazes give the final surface a  subtle tint.

With each work, Ellsworth invites the viewer to first look  at the simplicity of the image and then beyond, opening the door to the  imagination.

In this  exhibit, "Acclimation" explores the ongoing story of Pagau, The Black Dog from  China and Rhu, the Texas stray that were both rescued and live a renewed  existence with Ellsworth as they acclimate themselves to a new  environment.
