Patricia Newton has been a resident of the Central Coast of California for over twenty years.

Artistic expression often curtailed by the demands of an ongoing full time career.  Patricia has painted for her own enjoyment.

When permitted she showed her paintings with other artists and donated her creativity to local organizations and charity.

After several years, Patricia Newton has begun a journey of discovery.  Patricia now paints full time in her studio.

In doing so, she has found a deep love of the sea it's creatures and delights in the ever changing skies above this majestic and beautiful countryside of the Central Coast, reflected in her award winning art.

The rugged coastline, lakes, vineyards and sunsets lend a many beautiful subject for the canvas as well as the peace they all add to her world.  Her desire is to share those same peaceful feelings and the joy of life that surround us in nature. 

In addition to land and seascape works, Patricia Newton also enjoys recreating the depth, beauty and wisdom she portrays in Portraits entrusted to her.  Many of these works have been completed by using a glazing technique.  Several thin layers of oil paint  that lend a translucent effect.
