Elizabeth Mitchell “Market Day” Silk Painting, Framed

Design Plus Gallery presents “Market Day” an original painting by Elizabeth Mitchell, 1998, US. Brilliant color and form is enhanced as the glowing color of the fiber-reactive, steam set dyes permeate the pure silk. The result is a shimmering piece of art that captures the viewer. Simply matted in white and framed in natural wood. Little surface wear; condition is good for age and use.

“I am a self taught artist, a ‘primitive” in a sophisticated world. My art work is a lyrical, symbolic narrative. Spontaneity, freedom and richness of color are characteristic of my work. They are enhanced by the nature of silk – its lustre and receptivity to the dyes – and by the immediacy of the silk painting technique. I find great joy in encouraging others to venture forth on this most human of activities – self expression. “
