The Atmosphere
"Gentle Falls the Rain" is a commanding yet tranquil diptych that captures the ephemeral moment between winter’s end and spring’s awakening. Spanning a total width of 60 inches, this two-panel artwork serves as a sophisticated focal point, perfect for anchoring a grand living space, corporate lobby, or luxury suite.
The Palette & Technique
Cheryl Johnson creates a complex visual dialogue using a masterful blend of Oil, Acrylics, Latex, Oil Crayon, and Cold Wax. The surface is rich with viscous textures and translucent layers that mimic the haze of a soft spring shower. The palette is a sophisticated earthy mix—Sage Green, Soft Yellow, Atmospheric Blue, and deep Black—balanced by high-key Creme and White highlights.
Designer’s Note
This artwork pivots gracefully between translucence and opacity. The forms are barely discernible, creating a mysterious aura that invites contemplation without overwhelming a room’s design scheme. It creates a "window" in the wall, offering a portal to nature that softens modern architecture.
Artist Statement
"Viscous Paint for me is exciting to apply and I strive to transcend the material world—color, ambiguous shapes, subtle lines—all serve as a visual dialogue between what cannot be seen but can be felt. The eye moves between earth and spirit." — Cheryl Johnson
