PAAC painted in Deer Creek Canyon last week. Nature's stacking & outcroppings of brilliant red rock is a wonder. I could paint here every day the rest of the year.

About Me
- Nancy Hawkins
- Ohio, United States
- When painting en plein air I’m drawn into a deeper sense of the beauty of the landscape. Capturing in paint some essence of God’s handiwork is an intriguing thrill. Shapes and colors change constantly via the elements, like a kaleidoscope turning as it is held up to the light. Sunlight and shadow, the movement of a breeze, makes painting en plein air so much more stimulating than painting from a photo. I work to capture that flash of wonder the light reveals to me. Spontaneity contributes to the energy that comes through in my painting. My painting is a celebration of light and color. Light is a metaphor of Christ the creator. Light reveals color, exposing immediate substance. It reveals depth and detail. Light communicates relationships, revealing nuances that continuously change, yet have a timeless source. My Paintings are for sale in the sales gallery of Butler Institute of American Art & The Hoyt Art Center Gift Shop & the Colorado Mountain Art Gallery. I am currently sojourning in Colorado. It is my privilege to be a participant in various juried artist shows, particularly OPAS, The Hoyt in New Castle PA and The Butler in Youngstown, Ohio.

I love the traces of snow. You've really captured the way that some of it sticks around and some of it melts.
I've got all the plein air 'stuff' ya' need... I just got to get out there!
It's true. The shapes of snow melt give an all new meaning to abstract.
