About the Item
Artist Comments
This painting was inspired by a grove of birch trees on the Bloedel Reserve on Bainbridge Island, located on Puget Sound in the State of Washington. The reserve is a fantastic nature preserve that inspires visitors during all seasons. This painting was a response to the beauty of the autumn season. The foreground of the painting is highly textured with acrylic paints and mediums. The upper half of the art displays the warm colors of the fall leaves.
About the Artist
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. Fun Fact: Nancy lived in Alaska until she was five. She had bison in the backyard, bears at the landfill, and a moose who stopped by once in a while to look for sweet grass.

- Reeds and Ripples, Original PaintingLocated in San Francisco, CA
Artist Comments
Reeds along the edge of a lake in the Gila National Forest. This painting is a slight abstraction of the lake, accentuating the pattern of lines created by the strong vertical reeds and the equally strong horizontals from the ripples on the water.About the Artist
Artist Heather Foster captures an enduring image of the West. She paints the dramatic landscapes and stalwart animals she encounters on her adventures to ranches and rodeos. Heather says she has always known she wanted to be an artist. As a child, she spent her weekends and summers riding the bus into Philadelphia to attend art classes at Philadelphia College of Art, Moore College of Art, and the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. Over the years, she's moved around the country quite a bit and done many jobs - everything from driving a pedicab (a giant tricycle that transports passengers) to art restoration and conservation (for one project, she unstretched and then restretched a $17 million painting that would not fit through the door of the buyer's house). The one constant though, no matter where she lived or what side jobs she held, she always made space and time to paint. Today, she works from a home studio in Santa Fe...Category21st Century and Contemporary Abstract Impressionist More Art
