Description
37” x 26” framed Svoboda has been painting with colored polymer clay for the last two and a half years and she began after her daughter's art teacher introduced her to the concept. She uses her fingers, rather than brushes, for a more precise placement of the pigment. She bakes her work in a low temperature oven, just like one would do with clay pottery, after the painting is complete. Svoboda previously has painted landscapes, seascapes and other natural elements when Noyes suggested she take her work in a food-related direction. The result was a recipe for success. Ice cream cones, pies, cakes, fruits and cookies all decorate the walls of the eclectic Noyes Art Gallery. Placed under glass, the pieces are like delectable treats in any sweet shop or grocery store. When Svoboda started painting in the 1960s, she primarily stuck with acrylics and watercolors. Her work has hung at the Noyes Gallery before; pieces usually are visible in one of the gallery's three rooms. "Usually my work is more impressionistic than this," she said. "But you can't always get clay to do what you want it to do." Noyes said an increasing number of artists are now seeing the clay painting technique and doing it themselves. "But everyone's work is always different," Svoboda said. The native Texan's whimsical pieces are brightly colored, as are her previous works, "The Mission" and "The Poppy Bed." The clay paintings are fun, lively and distinctive. 1938 - 2023
