Lemon
Girl
“I
love color harmonies that provoke
a mood,” says artist Morgan Weistling.
“While creating Lemon Girl, I was
inspired by the juxtaposition of the girl against the
subtle greens and blues which ran through the background.”
“When I paint, I prefer to suggest the
form of my subject, giving impressions of what I see
so that the viewer can interpret the painting for themselves.
I regard this as my poem about the Lemon Girl
rather than my full-fledged novel. This allows the viewer
to fill in their own details, drawing them in as part
of the painting.”

Trusted
Friends
“In my search for interesting people to paint, I
came to know this gentleman named Mickey Michele,”
says Morgan Weistling. “He is a fifth generation
Californian whose great, great grandfather was a vaquero
and horse trainer in 1890s Los Angeles. The art of horse
training has been passed down from generation to generation
and he follows in the footsteps of his grandfather. Mickey
trains horses for mounted shooting and is an expert in
firearms of the old West. I have painted him with his
Trusted Friends that have served him so
well, and I purposely used a
rough textured painting style to convey his personality.”

Morgan
Weistling:
American Contemporary Impressionist
“There
is a story underneath the story of my paintings,” says
artist Morgan Weistling. “I don’t hide the process
of how I paint.You can see the layers and count the strokes
it took to get there.With some styles of painting, the closer
you get to the canvas, the more you will see. With mine, the
more you step back, the more detail you will see. That’s
not easy, which is why it fascinates me.”
With his masterful use of oils, artist Morgan Weistling brings
a scene to life with spectacular lighting, creating a sense
of wonder and engaging the viewer’s imagination and emotion.
His dreamlike images touch the viewer’s heart, using more
than sentimentality to engage the viewer. His canvases are filled
with brushwork that tell a story beyond the subject matter.
Like a skilled movie director, he manipulates the focus of interest
with suggestions and impressions of forms that are barely realized
and allow the viewer’s imagination to fill in the details.
Following in the footsteps of the masters he admires, including
John Singer Sargent, Anders Zorn and Nicolai Fechin,Weistling
crafts a narrative, driven by clarity, focus and purpose, drawing
on images inspired by his beliefs and scenes from daily
life. “My hope is that people will enjoy viewing my artwork
as much I enjoyed painting it. For me, art is my language used
to communicate to others how I see God’s creation. When
I experience another artist’s work, I love to see through
their eyes and find
out as much about the artist as the subject they painted.That
is what makes art so interesting.” |
