Description

A Nod to Monet

Original Oil on Board | 20” x 16” | Signed Pamela Turnbow

Painted en plein air during the TC Steele Paint Out in Brown County, Indiana, A Nod to Monet is both a tribute to the Impressionist master and a celebration of the plein air experience itself. Created with a palette knife on a rainy day, this 20” x 16” oil painting captures the soft beauty of a quiet pond dotted with water lilies.

Despite the wet conditions, Pamela Turnbow found joy in the camaraderie of painting alongside fellow artists in such a historically rich setting. The painting’s textured surface adds depth and movement to the scene, while the vivid greens of the water and lily pads create a striking contrast with the delicate whites of the flowers.

Loose, expressive, and full of atmosphere, A Nod to Monet reflects both the artist’s admiration for nature and her deep connection to the plein air tradition. It is a timeless piece that invites the viewer to slow down and experience the quiet poetry of water, light, and shared artistic purpose.
