Colette Wirz Nauke

French Countryside Part VI, Original Painting

2019

Artist Comments
Part of a series inspired by Colette's journey through the french countryside. An abstracted foreground gives way to a small village scene, with the town church taking centerstage. Small houses and greenery add detail. "The artwork is filled with a luminous quality," says Colette. "The vivid colors are balanced next to the soft sky. A whimsical movement fills the canvas."
