About
Kimberly Blackstock’s “And Then We Knew - This Is All That Mattered” feels lush, intimate, and full of quiet abundance. The painting opens into a glowing landscape where soft light gathers on the left and a dense field of dimensional color rises across the lower half of the panel. Blackstock’s signature “pools of paint” give the surface a tactile richness, with hundreds of raised forms appearing like blossoms, seeds, berries, and small bursts of life. Raised poured acrylic forms create dimensional texture, while resin adds a smooth reflective finish to the surrounding painted surface.
The composition has a beautiful sense of atmosphere. A warm cream and pale green passage creates an airy opening, while deeper greens, shadowed blues, and softened earthy tones build the feeling of trees and foliage beyond the field. Across the foreground, pinks, reds, corals, plums, greens, and golden yellows create a vibrant garden-like rhythm. The contrast between the open light and the clustered resin forms makes the painting feel both expansive and emotionally close, as though the viewer has arrived at a place that feels immediately meaningful.
