Dianne Schelble’s paintings are vibrant works with generously applied paint, creating a unique look in watercolor resembling, from afar, a palette knife technique in oil. These paintings are alive in the moment – energetic and bold with intriguing light.
Dianne’s recent body of work reflects the colors that she ”feels” and senses in her environment. The gorgeous, moody red interior of a cafe instantly warms you and hides its occupants until the viewer moves in closer. A vibrant umbrella of maple leaves over turquoise houses in the fall invites you in to see something different every time. Instead of exaggerating the colors, she translates them as we absorb the combination of hues holistically. The work is rich and deep, softening the world’s natural and man-made reflection for a saturated field of color.
“Maine is a most wonderful place to paint. The dynamic shapes of sun, shadow and color in buildings and woodland are most inspiring to me. One can’t help but get excited about trying to express these feelings. My goal is to remind the viewer of this beauty they may overlook in the day to day”.
Dianne Schelble received her BA from the University Of Michigan School Of Art. After raising four children, she returned to watercolor and has since appeared in numerous prestigious shows and publications through out the country. She continues her education with yearly workshops.
