“The light hitting the water at Cliff Walk during my lunch breaks from the locksmith shop made me curious about painting. Started with small canvases in my garage, trying to capture those fleeting afternoon moments by the ocean.”

About Vivian

Vivian Hale works from Newport, Rhode Island. The pull toward painting began on lunch breaks from a locksmith shop, watching the light on the water at Cliff Walk. Small canvases in a garage followed, each one chasing a brief afternoon by the ocean. Hale also holds an associate degree in visual arts.

The style is impressionist, with warm reds, browns and oranges throughout. Pink granite and peach clouds mark a sunrise at Bar Harbor over Acadia. Broadway marquees spill color onto wet New York pavement, and Old West storefronts glow amber in Tombstone. A pair of crimson cardinals adds a gentler note. See below for the canvases customers return to again and again.
