LOOK OUT
I have hand done the water color yellow into the owl eyes. If you would like a different color I can customize.
This is a 17.5"X12.5"limited edition print of a drawing that I did in1995. There are now only 150 left of the 500 original prints. (There are also 50 artist proofs). Each print is signed and numbered with the title and original signature.
I did the artwork in the winter of '95 while sitting near a wood stove when I lived in the small town of Hay River, in the North West Territories in Northern Canada. (A place where the winters drop to 40 below zero or more).
I called this painting "Look Out"
it is 3nd in a series of 4 prints.
This drawing depicts a large snowy owl perched over a look out point. The dark sky and the tall grass create a powerful back drop. Notice that the viewer looks up at the owl. If you are looking up at this owl you had better "look out". All 4 prints have 2 characters in them. I this print the viewer is the character. I did the work when it was windy and cold out side I remember well the north wind.
Pencil drawing was by far my first love. I like to manipulate values and invent textures. I zone out when I draw, at times I even stop breathing to make sure I don’t mess up small details. I appreciate the perfection of animals and draw things that are anatomically correct down to the growth pattern in the fur.
Animal and art lovers have keen eyes and are sensitive to structure; they connect and appreciate these details where it matters.
I spent time planning the composition. Notice how the dark back ground shows off the main characters. The dark sky creates the atmosphere of the story, creating a natural rhythm that dance from positive to negative space. The eyes are piercing and distinct and provide a distinct focal point. About the Artist
Laurelle Macy grew up on a farm in northern Canada. Endless in its dimensions, untamed in its spirit, curious in its isolation, to Laurelle it is this and more. It is the stuff of passion, of creation, of timeless inspiration. Macy’s relationship with the land and its people is a seasoned one. Raised in a series of bush camps, Indian reservations and boom towns in Canada’s North West Territories, Macy understood early on, that her paintings could act as windows to a world little seen by others, but well known and loved by her.
Laurelle first obtained her Associates in Adverting Design. She worked as a graphic designer before moving on to get her Bachelors in art at Brigham Young University. After returning to the north Laurelle enjoyed success in a number of galleries, festival and commissions. Her and her family moved to Utah where she completed her master’s degree at the University of Idaho and has been actively involved in advanced design education at the college level.
Laurelle’s major talent lies in her portrayal of what she calls “living” material. The centerpieces of her artwork are native people, landscapes, and wildlife, all arrestingly “alive” in her paintings. Macy’s refinement of detail is engaging and her love of color apparent, at times immediate and aggressive, at others subtle and leading. Macy experience with color and composition seems to reflect the very personality of her subjects. To see her paintings and feel somehow touched by an open genuine spirit. This singular connection between the viewer and the subject is Macy’s desire. To paint the west, its people, animals and its landscape with compassion and insight, she hopes is her success. Laurelle Macy’s work has been shown in galleries across Northern Canada and in select studios in Utah. In addition to her work, Macy is faculty at the SLC Art Institute, has illustrated children’s books, portrait painter and is a 3 time grant recipient celebrating northern native people. Her diverse career, where she worked along side Dene Nation elders and Inuit carvers, to the cutting edge world of graphic design gives her tremendous understanding and perspective. An artist of unquestionable talent with yet untapped potential. Macy is certainly someone to watch for.
