"Summer on the Farm" original painting by Nancy Laliberte

"Summer on the Farm"

4" x 4" x 1-3/8" acrylic on gallery-wrapped canvas
SOLD

A petite peinture of one of my favorite themes - barns and farms in the landscape. I never tire of exploring shape, color, and light in painting. I love asking myself questions throughout the process, "What if I put down transparent colors first..., what is that shape of color I see..., does that color lean towards red or blue..." It is wonderful to be inquisitive and ask questions along the way whether it is in painting, gardening, traveling, fixing things, you name it. You just never know what you may discover or where your next question will lead you. Being curious is a wonderful part of the journey.

Summer Fun with a "Practice Run"

"Practice Run"

6" x 8" oil on panel (plein-air)
Sold

Summer is in full swing and it is fabulous! After the long winter we had, every warm and sunny day sure feels like a gift. In between soaking up some extra Vitamin D and having fun outdoors, if you are in the Wausau area this weekend, be sure to stop in at the Center for the Visual Arts (427 N Fourth St, downtown Wausau) and check out the Transitions Gallery space where I have this painting and other plein air and studio pieces exhibiting through Sunday, July 13. There are a lot of great events happening in Wausau this weekend, so make it a day of summer fun.
