Just Another Redhead to be Raffled

redmondauctionpaintingWhat fascinates Joanne Donaca about artwork is the wide variety of art created and preferences for that art…we all have our own tastes.  “The common goal throughout my art is to generate a strong emotional response,” says Donaca.  “I strive to capture that in my art—the unique ability to entice people to interact with pleasure when they view my artwork and to feel connected to it in some way.
“Originally I wanted my artwork to depict scenes and objects fairly accurately.  As I changed from pastel, watercolor, and acrylics to oils, the transition was natural – moving toward impressionism, painting quickly and suggesting shapes.  What drives me artistically and motivates me to paint presently is to challenge the viewer to interpret what he views rather than defining it for him.  I prefer to minimize and let the viewer finish the painting in his own mind, and in this way he becomes linked with my painting. 

“Challenge is a big factor in my life.  Painting gives me great pleasure and satisfies that desire for challenge.”

Donaca has donated Just Another Redhead painting to Ambiance Art Gallery. Raffle tickets can be purchased at Ambiance Co-op Gallery.
