Piece description from the artist
'Lily Pond, Newport' is inspired by the rich colors of the flora and fauna, the turtles, frogs and lily pads that make up the tranquility of this beautiful ecosystem. Shards of sunlight dance on the water and illuminate the ever-changing scenery throughout the day. This painting is about more than one moment in time as one moves through the delicate balance of this natural wonder. All raised areas mounted on archival 8 ply museum board to achieve a layered dimensional effect. Satin varnish for UV protection.
This is a TurningArt exclusive limited edition print available in editions of 100.
In 2020, Nancy Wyllie left Soho and realized a lifelong dream of setting up a seaside studio in Rhode Island. Trained as a painter in the classical tradition at RISD, her work shifted from photorealism to semi-abstraction. The beauty and timeless mystery of the ocean along the coast of New England, the Caribbean and Central America inspire every element in her work. A 21st century sensibility informs each painting and wall sculpture with a fresh interpretation of marine life in its many forms. These are dimensional seascapes that are carefully layered as a means of creating active surfaces in keeping with the everchanging motion and rhythms of the sea. Wyllie's paintings and mixed media pieces reside in public collections from the US to Toyko and in private collections including the Newcomb Art Museum at Tulane University and the State Darwin Museum in Moscow.
