Up and Over
Dominic Laporte |
2023 |
This mural, painted on plywood for the 2023 Mural Walk in a style erring on realism, features a stationary bird amongst flowers and leaves, in purples, oranges, and mute pastels contrasting with darker shades.
The painting I created during the 2023 edition of the Squamish Mural Walk was an ode to the west coast in terms of subject matter, but also an exercise in technique and transparency which I include in a lot of my studio and mural work. The palette is also reminiscent of soft orange/purple sunsets that I’ve experienced on the west coast of Canada in the past.”
