Claire Sherman

I'm including a few more pieces here than usual because I think the cumulative effect is more telling than the individual pieces might be at first glance. I love how she seems to approach these landscapes as if they were merely abstractions, but despite this or maybe because of it, they really capture the atmosphere of the place. And I love the big bold almost loopy brushwork that could almost go over the top if it weren't for the pitch perfect colors.
