Works on Canvas- Travelscapes

"Plein air landscape painting is a meditative and instructional process that forces me to observe with a sharper eye in preparation for "peoplescapes" created from my imagination. I've carried my paints around the world working in plein-air to capture the changing light and colors of the lush, tropical scenery.  My fascination with the complicated cultures and incredibly beautiful landscapes of Southeast Asia, has led me through India, Thailand, Nepal, Vietnam and Indonesia. The race against light and time is a strange meditation challenging me to concentrate on the moment while offering an opportunity to be absorbed into nature. I find art to be a universal language." Nancy Calef
