SO MUCH COLOR!!!!!! It makes my little heart so happy! :)
So my next landscape artist is Susan Puelz. Her work kind of reminds me of Adela Tavares's work, in how you can tell what she's depicting and the details of the subject matter do have realistic qualities, but there are also bursts of color and contour lines added to the pieces.
The added color give it almost a dreamlike quality. Or for some of them it looks like it is during a sunset, with the the bright red, yellow, and pink lighting is shining on the rest of the area.
Her style is interesting. As always, I look at the amount of detail an artist puts into his or her work. I look at how precise and miniscule are the details that the artist pays attention to. Puelz does pay attention but on the larger scale. She seems to pay more attention to the contour of the elements in her pieces, rather than the tiniest dots and cracks. She conveys texture well in her seemingly broad-stroke technique. In "Memoirs" she shows the smoother roof and walls, while in her picture of the Niobrara River, she uses the squiggly lines to show the wild, voluminous, leafy trees.
