I'll always return to lemons as a subject because of their almost spherical shape and the contrast between the shiny textured skin and translucent wet interior.
My path to this perfect artistic place was through folk art born of memories of my New England childhood. This art I sold to the White House, Panasonic, Toyota, Bigelow Tea, the Mayor of Boston and to clients of galleries in New York, Boston, Nantucket, Charleston, San Francisco and Los Angeles. My art was featured twice on the Today Show and in two national magazines.
Now I paint about strong women. In Greek mythology, women were as powerful as men. They were gods. I like to think, and my collectors seem to, that my painted women are their descendants.

Marie, I really like your sense of design and strong colour. I agree with what you say about these small paintings - they let you focus much more easily and concentrate on the main issues at hand.
Yellow and purple. Perfect!
I'm a dedicated small painter since viewing Trevor Chamberlain's work 15 years ago. He makes a small painting look big. He is also the master of simplified brushstrokes.
great color...and the translucence you achieved is great
Yes, this is a beautiful piece! LOVE that you're not afraid to use lots of beautifully saturated color!
