"Imagine two friends were going to meet at a favorite coffee shop," says artist Nancy LaBerge Muren. "One arrived first, so she found a table and ordered French drip. As she waited, she noticed a table where the last customer had left it a little rumpled. She looked it over and said with an excited voice, 'hey that would make a great little still life painting,' and so she did."
Thank you Very much Ms. Gibbs this was painted from a trip to Tennessee. The next day there was such a rain that all the color drained out of the leaves. I was so lucky to have this painting. The show at the Taos Gallery at the Davis Art Center went very well!
This is a beautiful setting. I am hoping to see your work a the Davis Art Center show later this month.
Hi S, Chamers you are correct this is a Pacific NW sky over a lavender field found in the hills above Silverton, Oregon. Many people rent this field before it is harvested to celebrate the weddings and say their vows to each other. There is also a place for a reception afterward. thank you, Nancy
The sky in the picture Lavender is so real. I think it looks so much like a pacific northwest sky. Love the details on the flowers as well.
Hi K Gibbs Thank you for your comments, it is great to hear from someone who understands the use of contrast and color.
The painting "The Hike" was inspired by my child hood. When I was about 14 a friend and I hiked the some Pacific Coast Trail for 8 days with a group put together by the local science museum. The beautiful scenes has been with be ever since. The painting "Teal Travels" was inspired by a trip to Florence Italy to visit my daughter. The brightly colored walls gave me such an opportunity to paint a color I love with large uncontrolled brushstrokes to mimic the fading stucco so common in Florence.
Well thank you very much K Gibbs. California does have some very lovely country. I am always having to stop and take pictures.
Thank you Renee it is so nice of you to take time out of your day and let me know that you have looked at my work and that you are enjoying it. Nancy
I love this painting of "Turnips" It is just beautiful! I think fruits and vegetables are so beautiful. I find myself taking photos at farmers markets and such. You have captured the intricacies of each individual turnip and their distinctiveness while maintaining a bright and cheerful simplicity.. Every root and the edge of the box etc. show amazing talent using this medium. My son and his wife are farmers and would enjoy and appreciate this painting as well..Very Fun! Renee Bedgood.
I recently sold an original painting to someone in Florida. Thank You!!!! The painting was called Alfa Romeo 16 x 15 Inches
Hi K Lab, Thank you for the comments I love to hear about the paintings that observers and buyers might find pleasing! I was hiking up in the mountains north of mount hood in the spring. The wild flowers and the butterflies were having a party.
Hi K Gibbs Thank you for your remarks. I love bright color also I think my eyes have a special relationship to color.
Nancy, this is a beautiful painting. May I ask where you were when you painted this scene? I like knowing where you get your inspirations for paintings and what interested you about your subject. Your "Teal Travels" is also interesting to me.
Looking at this provides an automatic escape. I want to be in the foothills below the peaks.
I love the use of bright and muted colors.

Hi Kevin, Thank you for your question. I have sold paintings of sail boats and ships on the water like that ship in Newport Bay, Oregon. I think I will have to paint more.
Nancy, I noticed the boat #2 painting was an Oregon location (Newport)? Are there any other Oregon locations like this one? (I like it too)
Please feel free to add a comment or ask a question I love to here from you! in my newest painting the cows were on the way home to be milked at dusk. I was at a private school's farm in San Rafael just north of San Francisco, CA. it was such a beautiful natural sight.
It is so good to hear from you Reggie, Thanks you for your business and the complement!
