Why, 22” x 28” acrylic on canvas

Marcia Coppel’s new paintings are based on her love for the people, rich color, and landscape of Mexico. Her recent work was made using line drawings done “on the spot” before, during, and after the height of Covid-19. The color was added later in her studio.

“At times, painting was difficult or impossible. However, when I could paint, I was able to resume with my sense of  whimsy and use rich colors,” says Coppel. Underneath the humor, she is concerned with communication, isolation, laughter,  healing.
