Nicole Strasburg Home Decor Artist
Nicole Strasburg seeks to capture the emotion of the landscape in paintings that reflect rather than reproduce nature. Working from sketches and photographs taken in the field, she builds her images with successive layers of painting, wiping, sanding and scraping. The technique engenders depth and movement that enable her, as she puts it, "to convey the immensely powerful, yet quietly mysterious elements" of her surroundings.

Slide 1: BLUE TIDE PAINTING
$3,000.00
Santa Barbara, CA landscape artist Nicole Strasburg's work celebrates the vast outdoors, endless horizons and a sense of personal sanctuary. As she says of this painting, "Santa Barbara is a special place to the indigenous Chumash Indians because of its geography. Not only is it surrounded by beautiful mountains, it is also one of the only places on the California coastline that runs East to West rather than North to South. I spend a lot of time walking the shore with my two border collies. The days here can be crystal clear at the beach or a marine layer can sit just off the coast. 'Blue Tide' is an image of a favorite surf spot on a day that was cool but had just enough sun to keep the fog sitting offshore." Made in USA. Exclusive. Unframed, oil paint on birch panel, equipped with a hanging wire. 29-1/2" x 19-1/2".
