Thelma Weatherford
Thelma Weatherford is a long time resident of Northern California. She paints with oil and cold wax layered media - beeswax made into a soft paste. This application adds body, transparency and depth to oil paint. Thelma creates a layering effect, showing a history of marks and color. Many of her paintings are impressions of small places such as leaves in a wind storm, poppies at night, and the patina of old wood, often seen on buildings. Her snorkeling experiences have inspired underwater impressionistic paintings. She likes to describe her abstracts as mindscapes.
