Shadows and Sparks at 10 O'Clock i
by Ronald T. Crawford Painter
Salt Spring Island artist Ron Crawford creates art with a unique combination of plaster and acrylic paint, resulting in a modern variation on the frescoes. The surfaces are carved, shaped, sanded and painted until they take on a rich, naturally eroded appearance.

" This work is from my Dangerous Goods series of paintings which explores nails as both a physical marker and a suggestion of caution . Nails are dangerous, sharp, ominous yet everyday object we use. In a painting we wish to move closer to see more carefully what is underneath or formed but the nails add an element of risk. I love the contrast of something that could be both beautiful and yet dangerous. Some of the shadows you see are real and others are not. The surface is constantly changing." - Ron Crawford

Painter Ronald T. Crawford

Ronald T. Crawford’s paintings reflect both the theoretical and physical aspects of his life. On the one hand he has an extensive fine art education and has been exhibiting his work for over 30 years.

On the other hand, for the past 25 years he has had extensive experience working on Salt Spring Island with functional and sculptural stonework. His multifaceted paintings are the result of the blending of contemporary painting concerns with the earthy spiritualism of stone.
