ABOUT THE ARTIST
Arden Boyce has been painting since she was a child, and ebullient creativity has sustained her through the birth and raising of her four children. Her love affair with light and color started as a young student when she traveled to Europe and was entranced by the original art she saw there, especially the work of the Impressionists. "Suddenly I saw everything differently. It just took my breath away." For close to 40 years, Boyce has been refining her international Impressionistic style. In particular, she is developing techniques of "pure palette" painting using vibrant hues of the spectrum. In other words, she uses no dark earth tones. Because her colors are so vivid, she takes special care to control her images with subtly grayed down shades. The overall effect of her work is one of brightness and harmony, reflecting her own optimistic attitude toward life and desire to share her delight with the beauty in everyday life around us.

PAINTING OUTDOORS
"I love to paint outdoors," she says. "I draw with my paintbrush, or sometimes do quick watercolor sketches. It's important to work very quickly because the light and therefore the colors change as the sun moves through the sky." She says her goal in these drawings and sketches is to capture the authentic hues she sees. She then enriches and enhances to bring out the essence of the subject, "like the way you apply makeup, not to disguise the face, but to soften here, accentuate there, and draw the eye to special features."
