Publisher's Synopsis
American plein air painter Phyllis Shafer attempts to reveal the rhythms and transcendental essence of nature through her landscape paintings. Inspired by the Lake Tahoe wilderness near her home, the Arizona deserts, and the majesty of national parks and forests, her scenes come to life with vibrant color palettes and stylized brushstrokes that bestow movement into seemingly still environments. Absorbing her unique point of view and flowing linework, the viewer of Shafer's paintings can almost feel the breeze in their hair or the warmth of the sun on their skin. Let this set of four images carry you to a babbling brook, take on the perspective of a waltzing butterfly, or even provoke a moonlit adventure. Contains five each of the following notecards: Curious Clouds Surprised the Sky, 2019, Her Little Parasol to Lift, 2019, Swallowtail Dance, 2018, Moonrise over Stevens Peak, 2022.
