Oil on Canvas
26 x 24
Perkins was not able to create the exhibition she planned, of larger oil paintings. She intended for these paintings to be abstracted, but recognizable as the study of bodies. When a vertebra collapsed, she could no longer stand at her easel for any length of time so, she returned to her watercolor and pen drawings. It had all “Gone Awry”.
Perkins’ oil paintings are based on studies of the figure. Using water-soluble graphite on canvas, she quickly captures lines that, later in her studio, she smears and fixes with matte medium. These lines serve as the bones for her abstract paintings. Often the finished painting has little of the figure.
