Oil Painting
830.981.4512 (studio) 210.240.9383 (cell)
As a second career Mann started painting in oils again after a long absence. Bonnie is mostly self taught but credits much of her art knowledge and her skill to studying with artists in workshops and class environments. She is greatly influenced by Texas artists and by inspired by works of David Leffel. A full-time painter, she paints still life and landscapes from her studio in her home in the Texas Hill Country. Her favorite medium is oil on canvas. Mann says her paintings begin with a concept, an idea that can be portrayed through her choice of subject and colors and composition. Mann states: " When painting landscapes I am there mentally and emotionally even when painting in my studio. I enjoy setting up and painting still life. I often include in my set up things I have collected over time and I love arranging objects and experimenting with the light. I want to paint what I conceive in my mind's eye and I can only hope that the viewer can relate. No matter what the subject, I want to invite the viewer into my world by telling a story, conveying an emotion. I believe an artist is forever evolving and I am enjoying the process"
