Artist Comments
A women lounges in her spring garden reading the first pages of a new book. She is flanked by blooming planters, and to her right, a pitcher and several lemons rest on a small table. "For this piece, I tried to be very loose with my brushstrokes to get an idea of movement," explains artist Claudia Verciani. "I can almost see her flipping the page."
About the Artist
Inspired by the great Impressionist painters, Claudia uses paint emotionally to depict the beauty of life. She is most inspired by light, and as such, tends to paint en plein air frequently. Claudia strives to capture singular, transient moments in time in which the contrast between light and dark values are striking. She presents a body of work that conveys traditionally Impressionist influences across varying choices of subject matter.
