Cantrell uses a few carefully positioned bands of color to create a view of an open landscape. And, Cantrell explains, “I need lots of color in an image that strikes me. I use a lot of drips and flung slashes of paint.” The result is expressive pieces in which swaths of yellow, orange, and violet evoke paths and fields and featurere a mix of abstraction and figuration, with vibrant bright hues, visible brushwork, and a sense of calm.
