“Bay Area 6” 24 x 24 inches is a one-of-a-kind original, modern seascape impressionist painting by Juanita Bellavance. In this nature inspired painting neutral green, gray and white create a sense of water along a bay.

Statement:

I begin my paintings with a certain amount of chaos. To create this I draw with colorful drawing media, write with graphite and then add splashes of acrylic paint. To bring order, balance and calm to the canvas I “blanket” the chaos with multiple layers of paint. Through this process, mystery emerges. The original layer of chaos can be seen through the layers just enough to create interest without disturbing the solace of simplicity.
