A Great Artist - Michelle Schaefer

Painting scenery in vibrant colors, Michelle Schaefer impressions us the emotion and majesty of scenery.  Michelle has a few categories of scenery art from different places, but I have to say I enjoy the SouthWest the best.

You can feel the arid air and the hot sun and the cool shade in her Cliff Palace depicting the Anasazi cliff village in the Mesa Verde National Park.  Love how the oranges and browns clash with the blues and greens, the inorganic and the organic in mutual harmony.  Then there's the stark unforgiving brightness of the sun.

Then theres the interpretation of Van Gogh's Starry Night brought to a Southwest village in Michelle's A Pueblo Starry Night.  She captures the watery flow of the renown artist in the sky, tree, and landscape below.  She adds the contrasting blues and oranges depicting hardness and softness with grace.  Isn't life full of such harsh times and beautiful times?

Michelle's website is worth the visit and her artwork is worth the cost.  You can find her website here.
