I love the colours used here, different tones of aquamarine and splash of red. I struggle with abstracts using acrylic, I mainly do use oils, but I will try some on paper with acrylics. I love painting figuratively, but abstracts are my first love. I'm hoping to post my latest one tomorrow.
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

Hi Manuela,
Thanks so much for the comment. It's extra nice coming from another abstract painter!
Beautiful, Nancy! I love the little bit of red, it really makes the piece.
Thanks Dianne,
It's nice to hear from you. I still find it so amazing that I can converse so easily with someone so far away.
Happy Painting!

Thanks Carolann,
This one seems to be getting a lot of attention. Guess I'll have to study it a bit more closely and see where the magic is!
I'll be on vacation for a few days, but I'll check out your blog for that abstract!
Attractive and nice art work i really enjoy it.
