BOONE, N.C. - March 11, 2015 - PRLog -- The power of nature is in its ability to renew and rejuvenate, even when faced with adversity and destruction. "Nature is my muse," states Lobe. "I'm inspired by its unrelenting quality to be reborn. As a part of nature, I believe we need to respect the connections we have with the natural world."

Cold wax & oil painting is a process of addition and subtraction. Laying down layers of oil and wax, impressing textures, scratching, scraping, laying more layers of colors and wax and continuing until you finish. You are continuously obscuring layers beneath by applying more layers with brayers, squeegees, palette knives and brushes. Then comes the subtraction, revealing layers beneath the surface with the sgrafitto techniques like scratching with palette knives, etc., and using solvents.

The show will run from March 3 - March 28th in the Mazie Jones Gallery. The Jones House is located in historic Boone, North Carolina. The Jones House Community Center and Cultural Center is both an historic building and a community center open to the public in downtown Boone, NC. The house is also the site of many activities and special events throughout the year. You can visit the website at: http://www.joneshousecommunitycenter.org/.

Lobe's cold wax & oil paintings are predominately expressionistic. They evoke the emotion of a scene through the brush strokes, palette knife strokes, and a rich palette suggested by the surroundings. Lobe's intention is to capture a fleeting moment and emotion of a scene.

Boone is a great setting for an artist. The mountains and crispness of the air inspires serenity and excitement at the same time. "I always come home from the mountains so refreshed and re-energized. I am so happy to have the opportunity to show my paintings in this lovely town and within the walls of the beautiful Jones House."
