"A Clear day at the Nubble", 12x12 , oil on Ampersand hardwood panel

I painted this way back in 2012 after a trip to the Nubble Lighthouse at Cape Neddick in York, Maine.

It was a beautiful clear day and the air was fresh and clear.

"Summer Pond", 16x9 inches, oil on Canson  oil paper

This was the lovely scene that I used to see from my kitchen window when I lived in Pennsylvania. There was a serene pond, with lovely morning sunrises, a horse farm, and a variety of random animals and waterfowl including geese, ducks, red fox, and deer.

It was an inspirational place  for me to write and read. I painted this study before doing a larger work of the same scene. 

If you are interested in this pretty scene, please email me at maryannejacobsen@aol.com for pricing.

 "Renaissance Child", 11x14, oil on panel.

I painted this little girl many years ago. She won a couple awards, and her winsome look won my heart. I have never offered her for sale before. She has been hanging on my walls for at least a decade. I finally decided to let her go to a good home.

 "Florida Nature Preserve", 11x14, oil on linen, plein air

I painted this on location many moons ago, with the Light Chasers, plein air group. We watched a demo first, by someone who's name I can no longer recall, and then we all wandered off to find that special place that inspired our senses. I found mine here, near water and a patch of red foliage.

It was a clear beautiful day, not yet the heat season that attracts bugs and sunburn and snakes.

I do miss painting outdoors, but restrictions from a back injury no longer allow me to do that. At least not yet.

I am have a huge sale of beautiful artwork on my website, that includes this painting. Please check it out here, and find a painting that speaks to your soul!

 "Distressed", 9x12, oil on Arches oil paper , on panel

This is the first painting I have done in 5 months! At least I didn't forget how to paint! I had a bad vertebrae fracture back in October, that has prevented me from painting. This one wasn't easy. I still have tremendous back pain when I stand, so I had to sit-down every 10 minutes to rest.

At least I finally painted something. I like the softness of it. Maybe this will be a new style for me.

Thanks for checking out my blog. This little lady can be purchased through my website. If interested, here's the link.
