Kelly Whyte
Rapley Fields Art Studio (Originals by Kelly)
My journey to capture the light in my paintings continues daily in my small countryside studio. I create bold, rich colourful oil and acrylic paintings that invite the viewer into my story. Walk down a path, follow a creek or gaze at a sunset, the subject is familiar and comfortable. I strive to relate to the viewer and remind them of that special place in their memory.
This artist is number 7 on the Studio Tour map.

Artist Statement
My journey to capture the light in my paintings is a labour of love. My inspiration comes from my surroundings, a creek, sunset or an interesting configuration of snow on a cedar tree. All these variables come together to create my vision. Described as a prolific artist, the oil paintings created in my small countryside studio are bold in colour and shape.
Plein air painting is one of my areas of expression. There is nothing quite like standing on the side of a lake, watching the water dance or hearing the wind rustle the leaves, to keep the paint flowing from my brush.
I work with small and large canvases to create that connection with the viewer. I strive to remind them of that special place in their memory. Local landscapes are my specialty.
