About The Artwork

This painting, Abstract Rainstorm, is the 3rd painting where I used the "ground" from a major online art supply store. This ground is very viscous and dries within 24 hours. The purpose of the ground is to cover mistakes on your watercolor painting, allow it to dry, then paint over it. Instead of using this ground to cover mistakes, I came up with the idea of using it in the artwork itself. My intention was to create a watercolor painting, that is typically flat, with some depth. This effect was achieved with the ground. I didn't have a lot of ground left after completing Abstract Ribbon, and Melting, so I decided to use it for the cloud cover. I used Iridescent Antique Silver and Pearlescent White for the "rain." Using these two colors gives the rain a shimmering effect. To see the shimmer effect, the painting will need to be near light where it can reflect it. This is a rainstorm that would be considered a deluge in real life. The fact that I am a watercolor artist gave rise to creating a rain-like painting. I am extremely happy with the outcome and hope you enjoy it as well. I kept the hills at a minimum so that the focus is on the shimmery rain. I hope this painting finds a home with you in either your home or office. It would be be quite a conversation piece, indeed! This painting comes with a Certificate of Authenticity as required by Saatchi. I am pleased to announce that on June 25, 2022, this painting received an Honorable Mention Award from the Northern Light Art Gallery.

Nancy Riedell, an internationally recognized, award winning artist originally from California and now living in Nevada, graduated from San Francisco State University where she studied Fine Arts. Classes included figure drawing, color values, acrylics, oils, and art history. Nancy’s love of art goes back to childhood as her mother encouraged her to develop her art skills by giving her art materials and art books so that she could develop her technique. Nancy’s current medium is watercolor. The bold use of colors and interesting landscapes has played a strong role in Nancy’s unique paintings. She feels that although she has been working with art since childhood, it is only within the last few years that she has felt the calling to go back into her art. Her work reflects her passion well by using strong, saturated color and theme. Nancy likes to take advantage of every opportunity and is known to photograph subjects for future paintings. She has captured beautiful sunrises in Monterey County, unique beach scenes in Santa Cruz County and unusual rock formations in New Mexico. Nancy’s art has been displayed in galleries in both the United States, England, and most recently, France. Nancy has been in four publications and has received seven awards to date. Nancy is a current member of the California Watercolor Assn, the National Watercolor Assn, and the Sierra Watercolor Society.
