"Modern Day Renaissance Woman"
"Intimate Landscapes of Romantic Places"

My summer interests have included considerable plein-air painting on location in Colorado...do check these under "Most Recent Work" category of Artworks.

Southwest Art Magazine has listed Boulder, Colorado artist Nyla Witmore as “An Artist to Watch.” Frontier Airline’s In-flight magazine (Sept/Oct, 2004) devoted a 4 page feature to Nyla’s art and career. DENVER WOMAN MAGAZINE also featured Nyla in the Oct/Nov 2007 issue.

PROFESSIONAL MEMBERSHIPS:
Plein Air Artists of Colorado (Signature member)
California Art Club (Painting patron)
Oil Painters of America


MEDIUMS:
The majority of my paintings are traditionally executed using oils. A few watercolor and acrylic paintings are also on this site.


STYLES
Traditionally trained, the majority of my work is representational/impressionist.  Abstract style is also featured. Nyla was asked to abstractly interpret music with the Boulder Philharmonic Orchestra in 2007, creating a piece in real time to an audience of 3,000 while a camera recorded the creation on a large overhead screen.

"It is not unusual for viewers to see abstract elements in my representational/realistic work. My brushwork leans toward more lyrical gestural movement which fits into both my abstract and impressionist modes of expression.

LANDSCAPE:
France, Italy, Australia, Japan, Colorado, New Mexico.

STILL LIFE:
Decorative oriental artifacts and antiques blend with fruits and the sensual draping of luxurious fabrics. Oriental pieces are often favored.

OBJECTIVE AND NON-OBJECTIVE ABSTRACT 
"I enjoy re-interpreting realistic paintings by doing an abstract of the same scene. This helps clients understand how I create in both styles and demonstrates how abstractly a realistic painting starts out with abstract shapes that become further defined. (See "Dupio Arco/Double Arches" paintings listed in the categories of "Abstract" and "Italy." )

In the "Abstract" category, see my generic abstract paintings as well as paintings literally and emotionally interpreting music.
