Marcus, 40″x30″ painting on canvas, by Washington DC artist Leslie M. Nolan

I’ve been working on a new series of paintings about the Arctic and Norway since a recent trip there.  These canvases try to convey the feel and emotion of the landscape, including its visual, auditory, olfactory and tactile qualities.  Unforgiving, yet magnificent, the area represents a uniquely challenging environment for people.  Beautiful and powerful.
