A member of the National Watercolor Society, Stanwood Camano Art Guild, and Camano Art Association, Kelly finds inspiration in the beauty of the natural world, gardens, the ocean, and the places she encounters through travel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBeach Boats, Valencia\u003c\/em\u003e was inspired by the brilliant Mediterranean light and relaxed coastal atmosphere of Valencia, Spain, and by the work of Spanish Impressionist Joaquín Sorolla. Sorolla's ability to capture sunlight, movement, and the fleeting beauty of a summer day has long inspired Kelly's own exploration of light and color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSoft pastels were used to capture the shimmering blues of the Mediterranean, warm golden sand, and the sunlit boats resting along the shore. Rather than focusing on every detail, the painting embraces an impressionistic approach, allowing color, light, and expressive pastel marks to create the feeling of standing on the beach on a bright summer afternoon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor Kelly, painting is about more than creating an image—it is about being present in a moment and giving herself permission to explore something new. After working primarily in digital art earlier in her career, she turned to traditional painting later in life and discovered that she \u003cem\u003ecouldn't live without paint\u003c\/em\u003e. Her work is an ongoing exploration of beauty, emotion, memory, and the simple joy of creating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Original one-of-a-kind artwork\u003cbr\u003e• Soft pastel on Clairefontaine\u003cbr\u003e• 12 x 16 inches\u003cbr\u003e• Unframed\u003cbr\u003e• Treated with Fixative to Protect Surface\u003cbr\u003e• Signed by the artist\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ebonshire Apothecary","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48915729121437,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/2171\/7661\/files\/BeachedBoatsKelly.jpg?v=1789571122","url":"https:\/\/ebonshireapothecary.com\/products\/original-pastel-painting-by-kelly-crumpley-beached-boats-valencia","provider":"Ebonshire Apothecary","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
