Artist Comments
Using a limited palette and harmonious colors, artist Faye Vander Veer paints a leisurely scene of a winter afternoon at the Tuileries Gardens in Paris. "There is a casualness in the stroll of the figures as the sun casts long shadows across the park," says Faye. She draws the viewer's eye to travel the composition toward the fountain and statues lined near the trees. Faye's loose brushwork suggests areas of interest, leaving the details much to be appreciated further by the observer.

About the Artist
Artist Faye Vander Veer seeks out moments with engaging narratives and captures them with an impressionist style. Her dramatic use of color, texture, light and shadow lend a glowing quality, creating an energy all their own. While using her own photographs as a general reference, it is her sensory memory of the event and her emotional reaction that is conveyed on the canvas, causing the viewer to be transported to another time and place. “Painting becomes a language I use to express my emotional response to what is before me and share my experience of the subject with others,“ says Faye.
