"After decades of painting, it is always fun and necessary to change it up. I try abstract, but my customers don’t care for it, so, a Contemporary Impressionist, I shall stay, with a twist. This year’s painting has become another new adventure. Some soft winter scenes as well as bright interiors. As always, the biggest influence remains the light of Leelanau County.
Painting the levels of land and water created by what the glaciers left behind is fascinating. This Peninsula is one of a kind and one cannot help but think how it was 125 years ago. The endurance of the fisherman and farmers leaves a lasting impression on me. The perseverance and appreciation plus hard work still shows today, and I get to paint it."
Nell Revel Smith is a self-taught contemporary impressionist. She explores early mornings and late afternoons when the light is saturated and colors rich, enlivening the landscape's texture. Simplicity and spontaneity are the two qualities which best reflect the mood and force behind her paintings; however, her own energetic and optimistic character is infused in every canvas she creates.
