I love all the details here...and the colors. It reminds me of the homes in Pioneer Village. Are there ropes in the doors so people can't go in the rooms?
Thanks Kass for your comment. No, no ropes there. The light was so luminous that afternoon. It is the last pic of 9 that I painted there. I kept two, this one and one titled 'The Smithy', a favorite of mine.
Wonderful work! Just invites the viewer into a loved place. So cozy and warm, these tones. I'm looking forward to seeing lots more of your art. I really like your photos on the other blog, too.
All of the artwork here is done in oil or watercolor and are framed unless otherwise stated. Prints are available for a selected group by request, please email MaryAnne for more information.
The quote "Art is the only way to run away without leaving home" by Twyla Tharp, best describes the attraction to every part of the painting process for me. Having painted for nearly 25 years intermittently while raising 3 valuable citizens, I took up the endeavor nearly fulltime in 1990. Soaking up art history and technique books, taking workshops with Coleman Cohen, Gifford Nicolaides, Susan Gallagher, Michelle Chrisman, J. K. Drummond, Leo Neufeld, Joe Lorusso. My inspiration is whatever touches my heart. I admire the work of The Boston Women's Artists Guild, the California Impressionists and such contemporary artists as Greg Kreutz, Susan Lyon, Thomas Buechner, Clyde Aspevig. I keep my drawing board occupied with plans for still lifes, floral portraits, and scenes from travels; keeping my enthusiasm vital and fresh.

Mary Anne, Your work continues to be exquisite, and so ambitious.
Love this piece (and all the others.)
