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, midsummer's ochre grasses stand sentry over a well-trod path toward a thicket of trees. 4"W x 6"H.
