The Formal and Afternoon Paintings Original Artwork Watercolor ... Two original paintings one on each side. Paintings measures 20" H x 19" W unframed, art signed by artist Neville.
This Original Watercolor Painting is a sophisticated figurative work by Mary Field Neville, showcasing her ability to blend high-fashion aesthetics with a loose, lyrical watercolor style. The piece depicts a woman in an elegant, voluminous emerald green gown with puff sleeves and a squared neckline, accented by a delicate string of pearls. Neville’s characteristic "mark-making" is evident in the confident pencil under-drawings and the gestural application of translucent green washes that define the fabric's movement. The composition is grounded by a minimalist, splattered background that allows the vibrant color of the dress and the serene expression of the subject to remain the central focus.
M. Neville, artist is a native of W. Virginia, was educated at W. Virginia University and School of Design. She worked as a commercial artist in New York graphic design, fashion and general illustration; she has held positions as advertising manager and art instructor giving workshops and teaching privately. Her paintings of mostly watercolor and oil are included in private and public collections including the Tennessee State Museum and historic venues such as Andrew Jackson’s Hermitage.
