Paintings as soon as I finish them, usually acrylic on paper or canvas with an occasional appearance by a surprise medium or support.

"Blended Color 2" -- Abstract -- Nancy Eckels
I've been experimenting with acrylic extenders enabling me to have time to blend color before it dries. But I still love the fact that acrylics dry so fast.
I love discovering all the new colors that result from blending pure color.
As a child, Nancy Eckels won a prize in a children’s art contest. It would hint at her future. Her parents met in an oil painting class, and many of her aunts and uncles were artists, so she and her sister were immersed in art from the beginning.
Nancy moved to Utah from New York at age 7 when her father was transferred for his work. The family spent summers exploring the national wonders of the west. Her father instilled in her an appreciation for the beauty and colors of nature, while her mother taught her the lessons of art.
Nancy became a full time artist after ending another creative career. In California, she happily worked in television for many years. She was a director on the CBS daytime drama, "The Bold and the Beautiful" when she decided to move on to full time painting.
Her worked has been placed in homes and businesses across the country.
She continues to create paintings that speak to her and her collectors.
Nancy will be painting as long as she can hold a brush. It's a passion that will not be lost to retirement. She lives with her husband in Canyon Country, California
