NARI MISTRY—
A keen sense of observation has always inspired me to express my feelings and reactions to my surroundings through painting.
Landscapes in watercolors, acrylics, pastels and a few oil-paintings make up much of my work. My paintings reflect my fascination with the theme of water in the natural landscape and I continue to paint a series of watercolors of the scenic beauty of Ithaca and surroundings. I try to use expressive bold colors to represent the subjects that inspire me. Even a scene of winter ice and snow can contain a touch of warm color in a few spots!
Some of my paintings are representational, most are expressive, some are more abstract, some are pure fantasy. I learned watercolor techniques through practice and observation, Although my work in watercolors has been mainly representational in an expressionist style, I am turning to more abstract work in acrylics, experimenting in brilliant translucent color fields using pure pigments.
