“Coastal California”
“As a child, gazing into the dreamy landscapes painted by a favorite Aunt, I decided early on, I wanted to explore painting with oils! Although raising a family and a career slowed this goal down a bit I continued to pursue lifelong dreams and began to paint. I have been painting with oils for over 30 years.
A career brought me to what became another love…. The Central Coast of California! I planted roots, worked hard, painted when time permitted and raised a family. I have been a resident of the Central Coast of California for over 28 years and paint whenever there is a spare moment!
I have always been intrigued by the essence of light, luminous color, expression of a face, warm gentle breeze, smell of citrus and salty air. My painting style is representational, utilizing a glazing technique by brushing on several thin layers of oil paint that lend a translucent effect and emanate light to my subjects.” …by Patricia Newton
