Nel Ivancich,
" Often I'll have certain expectations for a painting to find that my intentions have merely been
a reason to begin rather than a goal to be realized."

Oil on canvas

 I'm an abstract artist now living in a high desert mountain community in Southern Californa. I've been working on a series of abstract "stone" paintings which are inspired by the high desert mountain area in which I reside. These are fairly minimalistic paintings and, although at first glance,appear as if they're entirely about surface detail, have illusionistic depth as well. I apply paint of varying colors and values, one layer upon another, until I establish a tromp l'oeil effect with an allusion to visual depth. These are fictional works and take me several days to complete. The medium used is oil, and a few of them have some acrylic underpainting.
