About
the Artist - Artist Riki Nelson paints ONLY from
her own sketches, photos and creative vision - or directly
from life. Nelson works in two distinctive styles; a modern
figurative impressionism, in thick paint, with a palette
of 3 essential colors, from which she mixes every color
in the piece, and the complex painting style of contemporary
realism, using both traditional realism and contemporary
painting techniques - traditional realism, but with a creative,
modern edge,
Art come from inspiration, but "The Artistic Process"
is complex.
"...I
paint everyday, whether it's in my studio working on a complex
studio portrait at three oclock in the morning, or painting
PLEIN AIR .
Original
compositions are also key, I will spend days or weeks deciding
on a scene to paint.
In
addition to an accurate rendering of a subject, I attempt
to capture the "spirit" of what I paint, whatever,
or whoever I paint...."
