Nancy Takaichi
"Spring on Strawberry Hill" Plein air oil painting of trail in Watsonville, CA

About the Item

"Spring on Strawberry Hill" is a plein-air oil painting on wood cradle by San Jose, CA based artist Nancy Takaichi. This painting captures a bright field with shades of pink and green under a light blue sky. A dirt path surrounded by bountiful trees surround each side with a mountain in the distance and dark grey cloud floating overhead. This painting comes with a natural dark wood frame and measures out to 19"w 16"h  and 14"w x 11"h unframed.  Plein air painter, Nancy Takaichi, lives in San Jose where sunlight is plentiful, and a variety of scenery is within a short drive of her home. She grew up near Cincinnati, Ohio and went to DePauw University in Indiana where she majored in art, with a painting emphasis. She spent a semester in New York City as an apprentice to Jack Beal and Jane Frelicher in the late 70s. All of this instilled in her a strong foundation in figure, landscape, still life, and art history. Upon graduating, she traveled cross-country to San Jose, with the hopes of getting her MFA, and then teaching art while painting. But then life happened.  She needed a job first, and ended up making a 30-year career in event planning and marketing in Silicon Valley, while raising a family.
