Description of the Artwork “Whispers of Spring”

Whispers of Spring was my second venture into oil painting and a fun adventure of textures, shadows and light. I even made some of my own brushes to achieve a better texture in the fur of this snow leopard and her cubs. As I was painting the rocks, the forms took on animal aspects sometimes in the shadows or the shapes of the rocks themselves. See how many you can discover.

About the artist
Alex Slingenberg

Alex Slingenberg, Netherlands

Born in June 1956 in Greece, she traveled with her Dutch Diplomat parents, living in many places around the world. She found herself surrounded by the lush tropical vegetation, rich exotic cultures, varied often bright colourful wildlife and beautiful vivid art, exquisite antique collections from China, Thailand, Mexico, Japan, Europe, and USA. This all instilled in her a passion, the creative drive and inspiration to express herself with a joy of color, through painting. Finding inspiration all around her, her connected love of nature, animals and cultures is found back in her art. Her adventures nature has taken her on journey to develop, learn and experiment with different mediums such as Acrylic's, Oils, fired oil techniques, heat treated acrylics on unusual canvases such as leather, wood, canvas, panel, porcelain tile and silk. Mostly self evolved through a combination of experimenting, studying the subject and playing with colour mixing. By watching how light would plays amongst the shadows. Her attention was drown then caught by eyes, of the people and animals she paints. Focusing a large part of her skill and attention to detail by making those eyes come a live. For her eyes are the windows from which the soul shines. Its bright spirit reaches in to touch our hearts with fire. These days she loves to start with wild colored abstract, then incorporating realistic subject either in part or in whole into the abstract background blending them in partly to create an AbReal is what she calls this combination of abstract/realism. Mixing her own colors for her palette, by using six colors three in the light shades red, blue, lemon yellow and three red blue yellow in the dark shades plus two additional colors Titanium white and vandyke brown. Alex has exhibited widely and been featured in magazines both nationally as internationally. She loves sharing her knowledge and skills with others giving courses and workshops at home and abroad, taking them along for that fun and joyful journey in art.
