NUTHATCH

Open edition print by V. Rae

Image size: 18" x 12"

Whether sailing Alaska coastal waters or snorkeling Hawaiian shores, V Rae chronicles natural life through bold portraits that leap from the canvas to your heart.  Defying convention in a startling fusion of color and negative space, V paints Freestyle Expressions that transport each personal encounter through time and space, sharing with the world her seamless blend of art, nature and individual personality. Like Humpback whales, V migrates between Alaska, the Pacific Northwest and Hawaii each year painting from platforms frequented by her subjects.

Artist's narrative: I don't know whether 'Nut Hatch' is his name, or the brand of his favorite watering hole. But guys who flit around shouting 'Me! Me! Me!' all the time sure ruffle my feathers. He may get flutters from the young chickadees outside my studio window, but a woman's taste in men changes with age and experience. Until then I'll keep my eye on him. Hmm, I wonder if he's French?
