Ancient Evidence by California artist Nancy Eckels - abstract, contemporary, modern art, painting

 SOLD
Applying a new face to an old painting.  Sometimes
they just need to sit around for a while before they
come into their own.  Not quite sure this is finished, but
I should know when I look tomorrow after not seeing it for
a few hours.  Sometimes things just jump out at you.

got tamed a bit at the end, but it still pokes your eyes out.

Strive by California artist Nancy Eckels - abstract, contemporary, modern art, painting

I recently participated in an event for a local group called
Single Mothers Outreach.  Several artists were paired with
women being honored for overcoming great odds to become
successful in their lives and careers, and each artist
created a piece of artwork to represent that woman.
Tamara, the lovely lady that I was paired with, 
was pregnant at age 16, married to the father, 
had additional children and was eventually
divorced, but managed to get herself educated and elevated
enough to become the CEO of her own regional bank.
This painting reflects my impressions of Tamara.
I’ve used the color red to symbolize the courage, heart, 
and energy of her story…..the blue to introduce a bit of
a cool and levelheaded feel.  The earthy neutrals give a 
glimpse into a different side of Tamara that is grounded
and very much connected to her family. Tamara doesn’t
give the impression of someone who has battled, but of 
someone who used her intelligence, humanity,
perseverance,and creativity to get where she is today. 
I believe that Tamara broke barriers with her career,
but I’m guessing that there were many barriers that she just
found a way around using her mind and her intuition.

Color Crash by Nancy Eckels - abstract, contemporary, modern art, painting

 SOLD
I posted a version of this painting a few days ago, and
within a day I thought I needed to change it.  Well, one
thing led to the next, and now it's completely different.
It's now bright and fun and nothing like the first one.
Live and learn............

Web of Fire 3 by California artist Nancy Eckels - abstract, contemporary, modern art, painting

This is the third piece in a series of three.
This 12" x 12" textured painting 
is on canvas which has been mounted on masonite.
The 12" x 12" piece is then mounted on a larger 18" x 18"
piece of masonite which has been painted light gray. 
The entire piece is framed in a dark charcoal and gold
frame.  It has a great 3-D look to it.  The whole piece
measures 20.5 inches by 20.5 ".  By the way, my sister,
who is also an artist, told me about this nifty little
presentation idea.  Look her up sometime at
www.ScharerFineArt.com

Seattle Serenity Revisited by California artist Nancy Eckels, abstract, contemporary, modern art, painting

I took an older painting out to look at it and decided
to wake it up a bit.  I added some additional detail,
and smoothed some of the rougher edges.  I like it much better.
