Nancy R. Thomas’ “Serendipitous Moments” Exhibit at Artists’ Gallery Through August
Throughout the month of August, The Artists’ Gallery will feature the latest work by Nancy R. Thomas in a show entitled “Serendipitous Moments.” As noted by the artist, “Painting from life is an elusive endeavor at best. In the moments in which the planets align with divine inspiration and things miraculously fall into place, the artist experiences a serendipitous moment. These moments are rare and must be appreciated and accepted with grace. It is the immediacy of painting from life that I love. When one goes out with the intention of painting a scene, and the light attracts you to something entirely unplanned, the unexpected needs to be embraced. After living with a painting for a while, it will tell you what it needs and with a few short strokes, the work is transformed. This, too, is a serendipitous moment. This show includes new work completed on location as well as studio paintings from life. It is my hope that they all were the result of a serendipitous moment!”
