About the Item
Artist Comments
"The fires in California that have taken a devastating toll have also created strangely beautiful skies," says artist Mandy Main. "Although the closest fire was miles away, the smoke was so dense that the water around us and clouds above our boat were brilliant copper and gold. The sky itself was a pale eggshell teal, creating an unusual palette for this seascape. The partially obscured sun is reflected in the boat's wake, using loose, lively brushstrokes extending back to the distant islands, silhouetted against the sky."
About the Artist
Mandy Main is an art historian and landscape painter based in the Southern California desert. She has long been passionate about 19th Century American landscape paintings, which has been influential in her artistic practice. Mandy works in series, generally three paintings at a time. Her process begins with a vision of a place she has been, but she takes creative liberties with the aesthetic details. The artist is captivated by light and shadow, and strives to instill her work with moody drama through the representation of these elements. Using layers of paint and glazes, Mandy achieves mesmerizing atmospheric depth, encouraging the viewer to gaze and be still.
