A Blessed Evening, Original Painting

2023

Artist Comments
Soft blues, yellows, and pinks illuminate an evening sky rendered in a brick-like pattern. This application contrasts sharply with the organic flow of the landscape below. The fading sunset yields glints of light on the swaying grasses and meandering stream. The glow is palpable, offering sanctuary to wildlife and hikers alike in this nature preserve.

About the Artist
Artist Theresa Andreas-O'Leary works with mixed media to capture landscapes that evoke memories. She lived in multiple countries with her children, including the USA, Canada, South Africa, England, and France. Traveling shaped her perspective and continues to influence her art. The places she visits often become subjects in her paintings. "I am an observer, and I find inspiration meandering through parks, refuges, and forests," says Theresa. Her well-lit studio has a bathroom, a kitchenette, and walls filled with books and photos. She listens to her boombox while she paints, often with her dog by her side. When not doing art, Theresa enjoys hiking, going to the beach, and cooking. Some of her paintings are permanently displayed in hospitals, hotels, and a city hall.
