Artist's Statement
"I am absolutely devoted to painting in oils, fascinated by the harmony and the endless color combinations created first on the palette and then on the canvas. As a plein air painter, you will find me outside in the natural light, surrounded by the magnificent and diverse beauty of the landscape. I paint in a representational style much like my heroes, the early California impressionists. How they saw the colors, the shapes, the shadows and light, is a constant inspiration for me. What a joy to be part of this universe!
A strong desire to "capture the moment" draws me to my easel where I delight in pursuing my passion. Some have been known to call it an obsession. Whatever you call it, it’s absolutely what I love to do.
I hope those who see my paintings feel the energy, experience the emotion, and share with me the majesty and power of the landscape." – Marilyn Greenblat
