Anne Ireland ’94

I paint the cool clear light of Maine as it falls on the trees and fields, the old houses near the shore and the ever changing water. I paint these landscapes to evoke a sense of place and of my initial emotional reaction in observation. My process involves painting quickly at first, using the oil paint as one would use watercolor. Moving forward, more deliberate decisions collide with intuition and discovery to find the balance between description and evocation.
