Nina
Maguire, Central Park Winter, 2015
Acrylic
on canvas with mounted rice paper, 24 x 30 in.
“My
paintings are reflective of my world – people, situations and things that are closest to
me. When I paint I draw upon this attachment to capture a mood or emotion – a fleeting
impression of a time, place or state of mind - hopefully involving the viewer in the intimacy
of that moment.” - Nina Maguire
Maguire's
winter scene illustrates a majestic snowy evening in New York’s Central Park.
The opacity of colors and the sensitivity of the light reflecting on the snow
create a beautiful
and mysterious atmosphere. The effect of the foggy city
skyline in the background and the
perspective of the curving ground in the
foreground draw the viewer in to the scene, as if
experiencing it
themselves.
