For Hafner watercolor provides a direct means of setting down momentary visual feelings, while experimenting with the emotional joys of colors. Daring atmospheric scenes, transparent and opaque washes and fluid brushstrokes are part of the technique. It is her use of watercolors power that captures atmospheric conditions. She handles the colors with ease allowing for spontaneity. Hafner’s strong use of watercolor washes with bright colors and dark shadows convey an intense light. Mrs. Hafner recent works have taken a new direction and draws its imagery from the world of nature. She captures her landscapes spontaneously and evokes the fleeting effects of light with vivid colors and pattern. As in an impressionistic manner, Hafner closes into a scene to create images of intense color, which at a distance become her most magical intimate observations. Her paintings do not face us with problems and do not impose the painful obligations of deciphering them. Her paintings simply do not expect nor demand the effort of communication, they offer themselves directly and conquer us by their simplicity, their unassuming and poetic quality.
