Picture "View out of the window into the garden" (2021)

A girl gazes pensively out of the window into the summery green garden. I took a photo of this moment and used it as a reference for the oil painting. I am fascinated by the light, the perspective and the moment. A white curtain can be seen on the right of the picture, casting its shadow on the wooden window sill. The girl is leaning on her elbow. Her hand is resting on her cheek. The colors, the violet-red tones of the dress and shirt complement each other. Her light-colored hair is held together by a bright blue scrunchie. She is standing on a dark wooden chair to the left of the open casement window. The light is captured impressionistically. The brushstroke is expressionistic and impasto The picture support consists of an MDF panel with a strip of spruce wood. The edges are white. A steel picture wire serves as a suspension. The signature is on the front.

About Ute Meyer

I was born in Oldenburg, Lower Saxony, in 1957 and grew up in Husum on the west coast.
I have had my studio in Flensburg on the east coast since the nineties. In the eighties I completed a degree in art education. Since the beginning of 2000 I have been showing my work nationally and internationally at exhibitions, fairs and in galleries. My pictures can be found with collectors at home and abroad. One of my main focuses is plein air painting. I work in my own garden or at the Danish Baltic Sea. Over the years, I have developed a way of working outdoors that enables me to finish large-format canvases in one go and capture the mood of the day. The constantly changing weather and light conditions influence, delay or accelerate my painting process and composition. This style of painting is about capturing the immediate impression, mood or atmosphere of the scene in a fresh and intuitive way, much like a musician sight-reading a piece of music. Other series of works, such as macro studies of the beach or people and animals in the landscape, are created in my studio. In abstract painting, the starting points are experiences from her daily life. Oil on canvas or wood, washed pen drawings and watercolor are my means of expression.
