Sheila Boylan Parsons (American, Contemporary). Untitled watercolor, ca. 1980s. Hand-signed on lower right. An ethereal watercolor by American artist Sheila Boyle Parsons, a traveling artist who has been creating inspiring artwork since 1976. This piece captures nature's beauty in shades of peach, lavender, coral, cerulean, sky blue, rose, and azure blue. Parsons has captured the elegance of billowing clouds in the sky above sand dunes or mountain ranges at sunrise or sunset - both magical times when the atmosphere is partially illuminated by the sun and drenched in wondrous hues. An outstanding watercolor set in custom framing under glass. Size: 13.75" L x 19.75" W (34.9 cm x 50.2 cm) Size of frame: 20.25" L x 26.25" W (51.4 cm x 66.7 cm)
