approaching storm painting

Nicole Strasburg fondly thinks of her tiniest paintings as small gems, treasuring each as an intimate memory of a place she adores, a study in light, a steppingstone to one of her larger works. Just as a photograph immortalizes a moment in time, these "wooden postcards" forever capture the unique and the precious in a single snippet of the seaside landscape so near and dear to the artist. Here, gathering clouds slip silently between the sea and sun, foreshadowing even stormier skies. 6"W x 4"H.

Our Product Story

Nicole Strasburg seeks to capture "the quiet vastness of the untouched land" in dreamy landscapes that, though inspired by specific locations, reflect rather than reproduce nature. They evoke an emotional experience, bringing together the universal qualities of place, warmth, movement, color and light. Nicole works on birch panels, building the image through successive layers of painting, wiping, sanding and scraping. The process becomes as much about removing paint as it is about applying paint. Her technique engenders depth and movement to "convey the immensely powerful, yet quietly mysterious elements" of her surroundings.
