nature nonpareil

Size: 6" x 6"
Medium: Acrylic
Surface: Wood Panel
Style: Abstract
Artist: Thaneeya McArdle

I am spending 3 months this summer on a beautiful hilltop in southern France, surrounded by lush views and plenty of nature. My abstract paintings have been heavily influenced by my panoramic surroundings as well as my up-close observations of plants and insect life. I have termed my new series of nature-based abstracts my Anicca series. Anicca is a Pali term meaning impermanence. Like the Impressionists, I am deeply influenced by the changes in the scenery around me caused by the changing position of the sun and atmospheric changes such as wind, rain, and fog. These paintings depict the ever-changing quality of nature; its unpredictability, raw form, and constant flow. This painting depicts thick foliage and lifeforms amongst tree branches and expresses the concepts of multiplicity, abundance, and change.

These paintings depict the ever-changing quality of nature; its unpredictability, raw form, and constant flow. This painting depicts a whimsically abstract landscape writhing with color and energy. This piece expresses the concepts of growth, life, and change. Many shades of blue and green are used to express the fresh flow of rivers throughout the verdant landscape. Certain elements can be interpreted as the leaves of plants as well as roots growing in the soil. The colors and designs of this piece whimsically express a feeling of springtime and abundant growth.

The colors for this painting were chosen intuitively to create an emotive portrait of a contemplative female. This painting is calm and quiet and radiates warmth and peace. I enjoy creating portraits from my imagination using unconventional color combinations as a way to convey certain moods and feelings which are left open to the interpretation of the viewer.

This adorable little painting vibrates with color and detail. My abstract paintings are very process-oriented and carry a spiritual meaning related to the mystery of existence and a reverence for the unfolding process of life. This painting depicts two abstract mandala forms in opposite corners, which could be interpreted as flowers, suns, or other organic abstractions. The colors and designs arise spontaneously and reflect my interest in tribal and aboriginal art, specifically in the act of storytelling through nonrepresentational means. My abstract art is also heavily inspired by my world travels, particularly my visits to remote tribal villages in the Kutch region of India, as well as my visits to temples and roadside shrines in Sri Lanka, India, and Nepal. The painting continues around all four sides of the canvas, making this painting ready to hang without a frame!
