About the Item

"Cactus in Pastel" - Desert Plein Aire Landscape in Acrylic on Masonite Vibrant desert landscape by California Plein Aire artist Nick White (American, 1943-2009). Brightly colored cacti fill the composition, with one barrel cactus in the close foreground. Other cacti and shrubs make up the midground, in various shades of green, yellow, orange, and blue. In the background, magenta clouds rise over the scene to meet a bright blue sky. Artist's name and information written on verso. Unsigned, but was acquired from the artist's estate with a collection of his work. Board size: 12"H x 16"W Nick White (American, 1943-2009) began painting in the early 1970s with some early success> Later in life, White was a member (and board member) of the Los Gatos Art Association. He founded the Plein Air group, which he ran until 2009. He was a dedicated painter, leading many excursions regardless of group size. He preferred to paint in acrylic, as its quick-drying properties allowed him to “work fast and loose in the style of the early California impressionists.” Two of his painting were selected for the Fiesta de Artes Posters in 2004 and 2005. Memberships: Los Gatos Art Association. Founder, Plein Air Group.
