Working primarily in oils and acrylics I strive to create an atmosphere of light and shadow through color. Using a combination of impressionism and realism I strive to capture the beauty of a time or place and I love the thrill of finding just the right subject at just the right time of day. Favorite subject matter includes the Southwest landscape, florals, animals, figures and the evening light. My goal is to create a joyful revelation in the observer through color, light or subject. snelsonart.com
