Debra Bretton Robinson is a painter in Lowell, MA at the Western Avenue Studios. Her landscape paintings use vibrant color and big chunky shapes to transform her subjects into venues filled with life, depth and energy. Using analagous colors, complimentary colors, tertiary triads, her bold color combinations make the paintings hum and sing.
She uses a strong, satisfying balance of warm and cool tones, which make paintings feel solid and substantial. Her compositions and color together create large abstract designs out of realistic views.
She reminds me of Alice Neel in her confident use of paint and color and shape.
