Colleen Lambert
“Seascape”, Classic Artist Oils
Artist Gallery
“I’ve always tried to create images that ‘work’. I prefer painting seascape portraits of my beautiful Northwest as well as lively still life images. I enjoy the discipline and tradition of a more realistic style, although occasionally I slip over into a more impressionist style. Classic Oils allow me the versatility I seek in my work and the intensity that I need to convey strong images to others. Lastly, if my art makes others happy or able to recall a fond moment in time, then I’ve accomplished my goal of sharing my vision. My work has been collected by both corporate and private clients, here and abroad”.
