Description
An evocative, original watercolor painting by the celebrated Tahoe artist Madeline Bohanon (1926-2022). Bohanon was the founder of the Sierra Artists Network (now North Tahoe Arts) and a major influence on the regional art scene. This large-format piece captures an abstracted landscape in a vibrant, mid-century modern style, echoing a marsh or lakeside scene likely inspired by the Northern California/Nevada environment.
The watercolor is executed with a master's touch, utilizing wet-on-wet techniques, bold color blocking in sunny yellow and deep teal, and delicate speckling to create texture and movement. The composition is highly sought after, offering both energy and serenity. It is personally signed by the artist, "Madeline Bohanon," in the lower right. Presented in its original vintage gold metal frame with matting, this piece is perfect for making a statement on a feature wall. A unique, collectible piece of California regional art history.
