Pink Sky, Reno

17.5″(44cm) x 21.5″(54cm)

Born in Nevada, but living in Ireland, this painting by artist Delaney Davis, depicts an evening pink sky in her original home town of Reno; her nostalgia evident, from the refreshingly honest depiction of the roadway and path, the old fence running alongside and the trees in the distance. This was clearly a road she walked often and forms part of this artists sweet narrative.

Drawn to painting urban cityscapes, there is such a fascinatingly honest and authentic feel to Delaney’s work. She likes to choose locations and subjects that are generally overlooked by most of us going through our busy days. She sees beauty in the, perhaps, less obvious features, in the darkness, in the shadows, in the gritty and the industrial, from roadsides, to overhead wires to dark alleyways. Her work is wonderfully contemporary and fantastically collectable. Any of Delaney’s paintings would look superb in either a super, contemporary, modern space – as well as being equally charming in a cosy office or study or traditional living space.

Most definitely a ‘one to watch’ artist.
