Acrylic on wood panel by Nancy Lane. The personal artwork of highly-regarded New York City animation industry veteran.ABOUT THE ARTIST\"She was the only person who could make Cel-Vinyl acrylic paint on board look like an exquisitely glazed old master painting.\" – Eugene Salandra, an animation artist in Los Angeles,
Nancy Lane (1940-2020) grew up in Houlton, Maine, after which she attended the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, Massachusetts. Nancy came to New York City, to study fashion illustration at the Parsons School of Design. But instead landed a career in commercial animation, hand-inking and painting animators’ drawings onto cels for television commercials at Stars and Stripes Studios. She went on to work for the Academy Award–winning Hubley Studios, helping to create animated tv commercials, as well as both short and full-length features for PBS Such as Dig, in 1972, with musical score by Quincy Jones. While at Cel-Art Studios she did the inking and painting for iconic television commercials such as Hawaiian Punch, Hostess Cakes, and Cheerios among many more. She also worked on the early episodes of Schoolhouse Rock. She also worked at Ovation, Zander, Perpetual Motion Pictures (e.g., Berenstain Bears, Strawberry Shortcake) from 1980 to 1982, then worked at Hoffer & Silvermintz in the mid-1980’s. She worked for Mike Judge at the very dawn of Beavis and Butt-Head. She went on to Viacom for Nicklelodian, MTV’s Daria, The Head, and Beavis and Butthead, as well as the 1996 full-length feature Beavis and Butthead Do America. Nancy was also a highly talented and prolific photorealist painter of animals in the wild.
Measures 9 x 11 inches.These paintings were painted by my wonderful mother who passed away in November last year. She was a highly talented and skilled artist who worked in the commercial animation industry for decades. They are even more beautiful in person. The surface finish was achieved by a process of multiple applications of matte varnish and sanded meticulously with very fine sand paper. Thusly, giving it the deep color accentuation of the paint and soft glow. I have many more of different animals/birds in many sizes. My hope is to place them all in good loving homes where they will be enjoyed for a long time. Thank you so very much. Your business is greatly appreciated.
