Duets

Take time to sense the world around you. I get this impression when looking at the delicate and nature-inspired pieces by Leslie Walker Noell. These works are created using a variety of materials including archival ink-jet, wax, graphite, gouache on paper, oils, thread and pins. I love the mixture of textures and translucent layers. Also, each work is named Duet with a number like Duet 1, Duet 4. A clever and perfect way to title these lovely paired pieces.

On a side note...I'm feeling better and thank you for all the kind comments. TV and soup can only last so long...back to the swing of things!

    I love the addition of the thread and the wax paper gives it a surreal, dreamy quality. Lovely!

    the softness draws you in, almost hypnotizes you. i'm off to yoga class and that was a perfect send off visually for me to prepare to breathe! :)
