The challenge is to stay focussed and build the painting, one stroke at a time.

About My Painting
- Nancy Colella
- Norwell, Massachusetts
- I am a full time oil painter living and working the South Shore of Boston. My goal as a painter is to say as much as I can, with as few "well placed" brushstrokes as possible. My paintings are intuitive and spontaneous, meant to engage the viewer in a specific moment in time. This blog is designed to share a quick glimpse into my process of painting. All paintings are for sale by contacting the artist. saltydogstudio@comcast.net

Oh, these sunlit beach scenes are so delightful! Though they look so deceptively simple and easy, I know every brush-load is very deliberate. Easy to look at but hard to paint. Glad it's so much fun for all of us!
