Walp’s paintings are small and meditative, keyed around a few muted colors, a green grey, ochre, dusky blue, occasionally with a pop of bright orange when the subject is a zinnia or tangerine. The presentation is as important as the distinct objects; where objects land on the table and how they mark space, or their material being — if they are heavy or paper thin, transparent, draped, pleated. Most of the compositions are frontal but with a few she hovers overhead, all are grounded at the 90 degree angle where tabletop meets wall. Walp will flatten out a flower but with a few deft touches divulge the staggered petals circling around the stem in space. She’ll abstract a vase into blocks of colored bits that represent a waterline, highlights on refracted glass, or the thin gold line around a rim.
