Marcia Pagels Art Gallery:
Abstracts

Much of Marcia's art, especially in the first half of her career, tends toward the abstract even when she worked from life or photos. Many of the veiny, bonelike shapes below are quite realistic depictions of bizarre rock formations at two state beaches on the San Mateo coast, Pebble Beach and Bean Hollow.

The series of floating floral abstracts later in her life has, I think, a different origin: Monet.

This is a memorial online gallery for Marcia Pagels, 1930-2010. 100+ works are still missing. If you know of a work not shown, please email Chris Wayan, wdreamb@yahoo.com
