I'm really sorry to have a holiday painting already...I know it's
waaaay too early, but I need to get cards printed and have to
be ahead of the game. So think of it as a little early cheer!!!

This is a larger (and a little bit different) version of the
painting I posted two days ago. I really liked the
feel of that one, so I decided to try a really big one.

I'm back from my long trip to Chicago and Colorado and even
managed to squeeze in a trip to Arches National Park and Las
Vegas. I met some wonderful people too.....some of whom
bought paintings. It's great to be home and painting again.
I'll be posting much more often for the rest of the year.
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
