Nancy Merkle
Spring Rain, Original Painting

2019

About the Item

Artist Comments
An evening storm clears over a rural field, the setting sun casts soft yellow light across the scene. "This landscape depicts the sky and land after a spring rain touches the earth and begins the nurturing process," says Nancy.


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."
