Natalka Husar’s “R” for Christmas 2014
December 8, 2014
An artistic holiday tradition continues…
…here’s Natalka Husar’s annual Christmas book cover painting – “R” for Christmas (see previous years & more info).
The artist describes her 2014 painting:
“This is turning into a series, a year-end summary of where my work and my characters are going, in the atmosphere of a time-warped pulp fiction. So this is my New Jersey muse along with my Ukrainian muse. Dismissed. Released. Hired for a film? Your guess is as good as mine. Much of the painting is sewn as that is what I am doing in my new work, so the blond’s braids, the brunette’s highlights, the mortar lines in the building, all the font, the price and discount sticker, are all thread – on acrylic on linen.”
