BEAUTY: Painting--Sonal Nathwani

Sonal Nathwani is a talented painter but it's her casual, daily "sketchbooks" that she shares on her Instagram account that make me gasp. Her use of saturated colors for backgrounds is unexpected. And of course I love her visceral technique which looks to be a cross between Impressionism and Mark Making. It fits nicely with her subject matter which is so gloriously alive and ephemeral. Her instinctive motions with oil pastels mirror the whole dripping bosky redolent messy sticky tumbling living moist cornucopia that swells, bursts, and fades away.


She sells original pieces on her site!
