Spring has been an exceptionally prolific time for painting. Early sunrises, longer days, and the changes in the landscape have really inspired my creative process. For my new show at Wolfdales in Tahoe City, I’ve painted abstract expressions of areas around Lake Tahoe that have made lasting impressions on me. This has been great fun; recalling the colors, shapes, and textures of fine days exploring new places or visiting with old friends. Carole Sesko 2012.

New Territory

By carole | Published: October 17, 2010

"New Territory", mixed media on wood, 24" x 36" x 1", Carole Sesko 2010

October’s art works have a looser feel since I completed the works for the Elijah Bleus exhibit. I’m drawn to an autumnal color palate right now. The views I saw from the window seat on a recent flight are definitely on my mind. New Territory is an aerial landscape, a common theme in my abstract work that I return to visit from time to time. This painting is on exhibit at Dragonfly in downtown Truckee.

Twin Peaks

By carole | Published: August 18, 2010

"Twin Peaks", mixed media on canvas and wood, 19" x 23" x 1 1/2", Carole Sesko 2010

Twin Peaks is about the mood of an early autumn landscape: mountains, buildings, flowers, cloudy sky. I started with diverse textures, adding layers of acrylic color and rubbing them off to reveal color below. The frame is embellished with fragments of broken bicycle reflector, lightly colored in copper to retain their sparkle. Carole Sesko 2010
