ART News:

Ventana Fine Art announces A Force of Nature, our seventh annual show of new paintings by Marshall Noice. A painter so completely attuned to the wonder and all-encompassing beauty of the forests around his home, Marshall captures not only their aesthetic allure, but also the magic one feels when present amidst the sights, sounds, and scents of any temperate forest. His soft-focus oils on canvas evoke the peaceful excitement of being physically immersed in sylvan splendor. They lift the mood and calm the spirit with light, color, and soothing compositions. The title of this show applies equally to the artist and to his subject matter. 

A Force of Nature opens with a reception from 1–4 p.m., Saturday, June 28, and runs through July 7 with representation ongoing.
