Welcome to PamelaPatton.com. As an artist working in watercolors and colored pencil, I draw and paint the things I love and treasure…the flowers in my yard, the landscapes of the wooded river valley in which I live.

From the surroundings of my Nebraska home, built by hand by my grandfather on land that has been in my family since before the Civil War, my environs are steeped in the history of my family and my community. From this tranquil setting, I paint the quiet, simple things I find comforting and familiar to me.

I have always been drawn to the intimate details of nature---the delicate flower, the intricate leaf, the majestic tree---and I try to infuse my paintings with their simple beauty. I want the observer to discover with me the subtle hue of an autumn leaf or the translucent character of a flower petal.

I believe that even the small things around us can bring us pleasure. My landscapes are not intended to be grand in scale, but rather intimate and personal. I want them to beckon you, the viewer, to feel the warmth of the sun or the cool of the dappled shade, to remind you of a cherished, simpler time.
