Lore Creates New Impressive Portraits

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) March 17, 2007

The new series of portrait paintings by Lore Eckelberry can be seen at http://www.artistlore.com in the 'portraits' section of the gallery. It is fascinating to see the latest series of portraits created by Lore in her interpretation of the soul of the being. These are basically abstract paintings that resemble the physical form of the individual that she is portraying. One is struck by the realism of the character of the person in this abstracted interpretation.

It is amazing the ability that Lore has to pick out the correct colors for the person she is painting. It really does reflect the person itself; you could really say: "that is so-and-so" but you are in truth looking at a very beautiful combination of colors. When you are very close to the painting you just see a very nice harmonizing of colors but when you step back, wham! There it is, the person itself, in its full beingness; it is quite impressive.

The way that Lore composes the portrait of the person that she is painting adds to the characterization of the individual. For instance, she may place the figure on the canvas showing only half of the face. With Lore's skill in composition, this increases the drama of the image that she is portraying. Last but not least, the combinations of colors are so bold and strong that a striking energy is generated by the painting.
