Judy NimtzFeaturing

New small-scale oil paintings of places visited abroad, drawn from the artist’s own travel photographs.

Nimtz, known for figure painting and plein air landscapes, combines the two here. Working from photographs she took while travelling overseas, she paints architecture, rooflines, light and shadow, and figures at rest or absorbed in a task, in the spirit of a contemporary Grand Tour travelogue.

The compositions are modest and personal, and the scale draws viewers in close. The slow, dream-like oil handling is set against the quick snapshots the images began as.
