Artwork
A rural meadow and the river that runs through it are the focus of this western landscape painting. Surrounded by evergreen trees, it is a bright spot of nature that invites an artistic rendering.
This piece is on a gallery wrapped canvas with finished edges. It comes ready to hang.
Nancy Merkle
Tacoma, Washington
Nancy Merkle's process begins with a glimpse of color, a flicker of light, a pattern, or a texture. Elements swirl in her mind for hours, sometimes days, sometimes weeks before a design clicks and is transferred to canvas. With the canvas in front of her, she works intuitively -- a mark here, a mark there, a little touch of color, a bit of texture -- until she is satisfied and declares the work finished. Currently Nancy's work leans toward abstraction; she doesn't paint the world as it is, but as she wishes it were. Bold colors and loose brush strokes are her goal. When she's not making art, Nancy travels the Pacific Coast with a bicycle strapped to the car and "curiosity in my back pocket."
