LaNell Arndt
“My infatuation with painting and creative expression is a strong part of my life and existence. The passion for creating is fueled by an awareness of our surroundings in our everyday lives as we observe the beauty around us. I paint primarily from life, studio setups, or traveling to catch the next sunset or light-filled morning or late afternoon, whether painting small studies of exciting color notes or my most recent passion of larger works created out-of-doors en plein air. I know that I must work quickly, with bigger brushes, large sweeping strokes in a race against the elements and ever-changing light and shadow. Each outing brings a new awareness of the beauty of nature and the world around us. My goal as an artist is to share my enthusiastic approach to life and the beauty of the world around us with all who view my work.”
