Solitude en Espagne, peinture à l huile

2024

Artist Comments
A tapas restaurant comes into view, a place for locals and tourists alike to relish the pleasures of food and drinks. The warm colors and the interplay of light and shadow create an inviting atmosphere. Inspired by artist Jonelle Summerfield's stroll in a town while embarking on a journey on the Camino de Santiago, the composition captures a local also enjoying his solitude on a summer night.

About the Artist
Although Jonelle Summerfield grew up surrounded by paintings, she initially gravitated toward fashion and design over fine art. Jonelle received her degree in Interior Design in 2001, after which her mother began teaching her to paint. It changed her life. Over the next ten years, Jonelle trained and painted extensively to become a full-time artist. She takes an impressionistic approach to romantic street scenes and city corners. The artist travels extensively throughout North America and Europe, photographing all of her own reference material. Jonelle says it is important for her to remember the mood and feeling of the location she’s painting.
