MONICA LONCOLA: MONTAUK’S CATCH

May 20, 2015

Monica Loncola's watercolor illustrations of fresh fish for clients like Edible Long Island are always painted from life. “Seeing a fish that has just been caught is a bittersweet experience,” says Monica. “Colors fade by the minute… The chosen fish lies on a bed of ice next to my board as I work quickly from direct observation.”

“Isolating subjects from their environment and rendering them floating across the picture plane is an approach I’ve gravitated to over the years. In some works I combine a variety of specimens that have a common thread linking them together while other works may have a single subject painted in a repeated pattern.”
