These paintings are dictated by an interplay of closely valued colors and varied textures in a painterly woven format. Each brush stroke represents a thread of color used to weave the composition together. Layers of cocoa upon russet upon burgundy in one palette to deep rich greens in another lend a sense of movement to the surface. These paintings evoke memories of a cool breezy day in one of San Francisco's wooded parks to the warm fall colors in a patchwork quilt or the silvery and taupe tones of the first days of spring turning to autumn. The woven series of paint on canvas by Joan elan Davis reveals transitioning layers of sensory enrichment through texture, geometric pattern and an emotional hand.
