Style: "Natural Expressionism" is a new style of painting developed by American artist Cecilia Chenault. The style is characterized by realistic, flat brush strokes that are applied without layering, creating clean color or a living appearance to the paintings. The paintings are created with a limited palette of colors, applied with minimal blending or mixing of the subject upon the canvas, the textured background is applied with a painting knife application which adds a dimension of texture. Inspired by classic realism, and post-expressionism, Cecilia Chenault continues the tradition of expressionism into the modern day with her colorful wild nature and landscape paintings which convey subjective emotions and responses to the natural world.
