Float, Watercolor on Paper and Masonite by Rachel Teannalach

Contemplating this sublime series of paintings, which are inspired by the Marin County landscape, one notices the changing light – from twilight and fog to bright sun and soft shadows. Rachel Teannalach used a satisfying blend of a restrained palette and gentle abstraction to capture the feeling that a place evokes rather than render a photorealistic image. The horizon, including sky and perhaps hills, is all the artist paints, and she has created an unforgettable world out of them.
