March 2021: “Glimpses” at Michael Reid Northern Beaches
noun plural noun: glimpses a momentary or partial view. “she caught a glimpse of the ocean”;
verb see or perceive briefly or partially. “he glimpsed a figure standing in the shade” – Definitions from Oxford Languages
“Glimpses” marks my reacquaintance with the medium of oil paint, after many years of exclusively using acrylic paint and other water-based and drawing media. The paint quality, how it behaves, its personality and expressive qualities…reveals itself progressively to me, through glimpses.
