Bonnie
Posselli's many years of outdoor painting experiences are evident
in her pure, serene nature settings. She depicts the ephemeral qualities
of light and air as they play with nature using a recently developed
technique inspired by the masters. She creates an interaction between
opaque paint applied with palette knife and brush, and layers of transparent
glazes. The paintings give you a feeling of being suspended in time.
. .a time that you want to remember.
Bonnie
Posselli's paintings are now in great demand and can be found in many
fine collections around the country.
