in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and Scottsdale,
Arizona, capture the personality and depth
of color through multiple layers of oil paint.
Each painting is solitary, or at most a part
of small grouping, yet their intricacies
unveil a whole world of their own.
Through March 11, Nancy Balmert’s
artwork can be seen at Amsterdam
Whitney Gallery in a group exhibition.
This past October, she had a solo show at
the gallery, with curator and owner Ruthie
Tucker, stating, “Recognized as one of the
21 st century’s premier floral painters, Nancy
Balmert’s world-renowned floral paint-
ings illustrate the visual heritage of the
19 th-century French Impressionists as her
expressionistic color palette immortalizes

floral impressions of our beautiful world.”

Of her painting Monet’s Bouquet,

artist Pamela B. Padgett says, “I love

painting from life but sometimes that’s

not always possible. I came across this

photo I took while visiting the kitchen in

Monet’s home in Giverny, France. I loved

the wildflowers and randomness of the

‘just picked’ disorganization of flowers.

It’s so casual and messy. Trying to find

the core structure was challenging and

required careful study. I’ve never been a

painter to follow one genre; I love it all.

Figures, still life, landscapes. Somehow

these messy and random flowers describe

my personality...searching for a new place

to grow.”

Artist Sally Ruddy says she frequently

forgets all about a value scale when

painting. “I am not that interested in the

dark to light range,” she says. “What I do

have is a natural inclination for color. I’m

often told that I am a colorist, and that

it can’t be taught. I like to feel my way

through the colors. To me, the difference

between being inspired by color, or value

orientation, is the difference between the

heart and head.”

Her painting Summer Cattails is a

mid-tone work with bits of metallic gold

in the texture and has thin lines to define

the edges, while Rose Triad focuses on

the pink that she says is often “difficult to

replicate.”
