In this painting, Paulette takes a much more abstract approach to rendering a classic Appalachian scene. When squinting at the painting, one can see the big shapes. It appears to be an Appalachian landscape during the fall, perhaps at night, or just before nightfall. The scene is composed of a pixelated array of shapes with five rich green trees in the foreground. Like the rest of the painting, they are comprised of seemingly random yet intricately placed shapes. Behind them, the mountains punctuate the canvas like scattered pixels. The orange and yellow mountains of the foreground are bordered by the blue-green mountains of the background, perhaps signifying a lower elevation in the background where the leaves are still holding true to the greens of summer.
Above, the sky takes on a night-like hue, in which white circles and diamonds give the impression of starry constellations, tinged in sapphire. To either side of the painting, ruby red “pixels” give the impression of rich red maple leaves creating a vibrant vignette through which the radiant autumn scene shines. The abstraction of this painting invites viewers to explore and interpret for themselves. The imagination knows know limits when viewing this painting, and Paulette has offered a fresh perspective on a familiar landscape.
Another interpretation of this painting is that the white circles in the sky are clouds in the middle of the day. The title of this autumn painting is Mountain Dynamics.
