Horizon Beach Clouds II, Oil Painting

2024

Artist Comments
Fluffy clouds, a blue sky, and soft light on the horizon evoke a quiet yet dramatic seaside atmosphere. Carefully blended colors and shadows depict breezy movement as waves reach the shoreline. This vast, open coastal scene pays homage to the ocean's tranquil beauty and majestic power.

About the Artist
Reflected in Nancy Hughes Miller’s paintings are the coastal and rural environments of southeastern North Carolina, her birthplace, where she still spends much of her time. As a child, Nancy’s primary education did not include art classes, so she was delighted when one day her oldest brother returned home from college with newsprint and charcoal. She went on to pursue a career path in graphic design and fine arts. Now a full-time artist, Nancy experiments with vibrant colors and fluid forms to create her non-traditional, painterly landscapes. She enjoys working with oils, a medium that dries slowly and lends itself nicely to blending. Nancy strives to produce artwork that is, according to her, “quiet, yet bold.”
