Wendy Stoudt, Crossing the Little Lehigh, 2023, oil

“I paint to capture the wonder of the moment. My inspiration comes from the natural world as I watch the glorious colors of the sunset, sit by the sparkling ocean, or walk along a shaded path. Each brush stroke is a memory of the unique colors and changing light that first grab my attention. Using gouache or oil paints, I create worlds of peace and joy in an impressionistic style. I want my artwork to give a glimpse into my connection to the Creator and His amazing creation.”
