About the Item
Artist Comments
Artist Faye Vander Veer paints a fine summer day in Tuscany. Figures emerge onto a sunlit alley making their way about the city. "You can almost feel the warmth of the sun as it casts late afternoon shadows, creating a 'halo' effect around the figures," says Faye. "I saw this couple while having lunch in Pienza and was captivated by their elegance. There was something so peaceful about them. I love painting figures in backlighting and especially love the light coming through her dress."
About the Artist
Artist Faye Vander Veer seeks out moments with engaging narratives and captures them with an impressionist style. Her dramatic use of color, texture, light and shadow lend a glowing quality, creating an energy all their own. While using her own photographs as a general reference, it is her sensory memory of the event and her emotional reaction that is conveyed on the canvas, causing the viewer to be transported to another time and place. “Painting becomes a language I use to express my emotional response to what is before me and share my experience of the subject with others,“ says Faye.
