Beach Peek #4
8 x 10
My goal in this series is to plan ahead, put down a stroke, and leave it alone.
I used one #8 bristle brush for this whole painting.
(Even the telephone wires!)

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

ReplyDeleteNancy, this is just one of the best. Fabulous contrast of light and dark. It just pops out at you. This series has a fresh simplicity that we all love but so hard to achieve. Well done !
