Marcie Maynard - Fine Art

Original oil and pastel paintings in the Arts & Crafts and Tonalist styles, by Marcie Maynard. Marcie infuses her landscape paintings with a distinct sense of place through the interplay of foreground and background. Most of my landscapes are plein air (painted at a beautiful location) or originate from my imagination.

I paint because I am very touched by landscapes and actual places and vistas that affect me deeply, and make me stop, look and quietly observe. I also create landscapes from my inner experience and imagination. Both of these approaches often reveal feelings and awarenesses that we all share as human beings : a wish for presence.
