Nancy Watt is an acrylic and watercolour artist living on beautiful Bruce Lake in Muskoka Lakes. She is surrounded by abundant forests and pristine lakes. Small towns, flora and fauna and the rich colours found in Canada’s four seasons are all subjects for Nancy’s still life and landscape paintings and animal portraits. Her painting style is a mix of abstraction, impressionism and high realism. Utilizing layering technics helps Nancy capture rich depth of colour, surface texture and detail
ARTIST’S STATEMENT
Weather folklore originates from from inherited beliefs in balance. If weather at the start of March was good then it was gentle like a lamb, and if the month ended with bad weather then is was roaring like a lion. A late spring storm in March turned the forest to black and white and it appeared as if it had been sprinkled with powdered sugar. Using only the non colours black and white clearly illustrates the contrasting parts of nature. By limiting the palette the randomness of the forest becomes central to the overall work and the viewer is no longer influenced by colour and instead by the the lines and shapes of the forest. A small section of tree bark is painted red. This creates a focal point guiding the viewer's eye towards the middle of the painting.
