DEBORAH Donnelly is among the
first artists to take advantage of opportunities in Lowell's
new artist live/work space, judging from the dozens of paintings
she has turned out since arriving here from Ireland last Spring.
Cairin O'Connor Gallery at The Bolten Trust of Irelands offices
at 200 Middle St. in Lowell, where the smell of her oil paints
mixed happily with then business chatter of International
high-tech development.This week, she moved next door to a
rented flat in the new Ayer Lofts building.In Between she
finished a slew of the brightly coloured landscapes, marine
and city scenes, which are her trademark.
Her most recent major work, though,is a giant portrait of
a cow, which stares head on at the viewer,an energetic assemblage
of flashing brushstrokes, done in otherworldly shades of green,
yellow and blue. Donnelly's work is all about colour; most
of her paintings exhibit strong doses of primary shades, red,
yellow, and blue. These imbue otherwise typical landscapes
with a refreshing contemporary quality.
