Nancy Merkle
Montana Sky, Original Painting

2019

About the Item

Artist Comments
Wide open sky and hilly grasslands in western Montana. Afternoon clouds roll across the landscape and draw the eye up. Part of Nancy's signature series of nature scenes. She looks for exciting colors and lines as the foundations for her picturesque paintings.


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."
