History of the area has it that an Indian battle took place on this waterway, hence the name. I don't remember the date, but it conjures up some vivid images for me.
How did I miss such luscious, gorgeous paintings! Your grasses in this oil have the same spontaneity and liveliness as your pastels. And I love the three bull rushes in the foreground to catch the eye. It feels so blustery and chilly...makes me want to shiver. (also, its cold in my studio :) When I start selling (hear my optimism?) I am going to own one of your grass pictures.
I agree with the comments that Catherine made regarding your pastels and oils having a similar feel. I love the composition and the sense of depth that you created with the grasses!
Welcome, my name is Mary Anne Cary. I presently live in Cape Elizabeth, Maine, a small town just outside of Portland that sits abutting the frigid North Atlantic. A former graphic artist, I have been interested in art throughout my life and I am excited to finally step into the world of blogging as a way of broadening my horizons. My history as an artist has gone through many phases, I have experimented with many mediums and most recently have concentrated on oils and pastels. I particularly enjoy painting landscapes and still-life, but find it fascinating to work abstractly as well. I have been inspired by all the daily painters and look forward to the growth each one expresses from working daily. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about my artwork, pricing or if you are interested in purchasing anything you see. Additionally, you may visit my website to see more oil and pastels pieces.
