Gift of Janny Wurts, 1987

Wurts uses a technique called glazing in which layers of transparent pigments are superimposed on a white ground. Light penetrates the transparent paint and bounces back from the white through the transparent layers, creating a glowing light and sense of depth, particularly evident in her treatment of the sky.
