Today I had the great good fortune to get to talk to myoil on canvas
Nancy B. Hartley © 2019
friend in California, Nancy Boynton Hartley. I have
loved Nancy's work since I first saw it. Her use of
colour is spectacular. I always feel both happy and
motivated when I see her work.
She can express a landscape in beautiful, abstract
form. I am totally dazzled. And a couple of years
ago our friendship moved beyond blogs, Facebook
and now Instagram comments, into phone
conversations, which are always too short, and
always wonderful.
Today we talked about Nancy's super new studio,
and all the light she has. She marvelled that I can
do large work in a tiny space. And true our house
is a small Toronto semi, but I feel so lucky to
have a studio right next to my kitchen, so coffee
is always on offer.

Thank you for all of the inspiration Nancy. Maybe
this is the year we get to meet in person. Watch
out people in the vicinity, there could be some
pretty impressive happy laughter.
Have a talking to friends you love day.

Beautiful painting, so immediate!
You share a powerful color sense!
Thank you Laura,
We do share a powerful colour sense, but Nancy is just completely on with
it full time. I love her work, and of course you know that I love your
work.
