'Rhapsody N' Blue' (24H x 48L")
The "Art of Waterways" Statement
Sydney Zentall is a contemporary artist, who specializes in waterways -- notably the sea. In several decades she has sold over 100 paintings, achieved national and international awards, and been juried into galleries in Alaska, CA, IN, PA., N.Y. MA., & MI. Some have stated that these distinctions are explained by her ‘sense of sea’, developed from years of living by the sea. As written by Frederick Judd Waugh "To paint the sea, you must love it, and to love it, you must know the sea."
Process. Pastels and watercolors are used to capture local color and light effects. In later studio painting, Sydney works in layers to capture the 3-dimensionality and immediate mood of water. At a distance, we fail to note mood, and we see what at the brain is expecting (e.g., solid blue or green water). For this reason, we do not see purple mixed with green waters or see the joy of sun-reflected orange highlights.
To Purchase. All paintings are originals (i.e., not prints or copies) Even giclee prints fade over time, do not capture depth, and do not vary under different home lighting conditions. Her sea-works are also presented in a variety of sizes. Larger works are more interpretive and energetic, whereas smaller works, including encaustics, may capture an abstract version (see below).
