Original Oil Painting - FLOWER OF THE MARSH

This painting depicts a world of marsh, quiet waters, surrounded and protected by trees, seemingly there only for the viewer. The artist has skillfully layered paint to reveal the layers of complexity of a marsh. Enjoy discovering new aspects of the painting each time you take a moment to drink it in and marvel at the serenity of the scene.

Oil on wrapped canvas, 16" x 8" Available in-gallery only at 27 Ainslie St. N., Cambridge.

The Artist: Jean Marshall, an oil painter born and raised in Newfoundland, Canada has not forgotten her love (and fear) of the rocky coastal waterways and the rugged cliffs, the poetic streams and the little waterfalls. She is one of the original members of the Plein Air Adirondack School of Painters founded by Publisher, Eric Rhoads. An invitation from the Publisher to join the group of masters and their friends took her work beyond the studio to the mountains & valleys of New York. Jean has taken classes from numerous renowned painters. She won the Bronze Award 2015 and the Curators Award 2019, at the Homer Watson Gallery and Museum. One of her paintings recently won a global competition and was subsequently published in an art book. Her work is collected across North America, and most recently a piece was sent to the Yukon.

Jean always using the best supplies that hold archival quality for her collectors and their families to own through generations because as Jean says “Art has meaning beyond words, filled with so many stories to see. It’s documentation.”
