Here is Nan Feagin. Nan is a member of the Peninsula Art League and is currently showing her pastels, thru this week, at Kimball Espresso Gallery. If you are not familiar with pastel paintings then stop by and immerse yourself in Nan's art. "My work is strongly influenced by my views and feeling about the natural world. The places where sky and earth meet. I find the directness and flexibility of pastels a perfect medium to catch the atmosphere." Contact Nan at 253-549-2358.
As you enjoy this beautiful piece, you can just feel the cool spray of the surf...easy to get lost in. Easy to enjoy with a cup of Latte from Espresso Gallery.
A Big welcome to Darlene as a new Participating Artist with this blog. If you find one of her pieces of art, you will be lucky in more ways than one.
