Pandemic Self-Portrait in Pajamas
Pandemic Self-Portrait in Pajamas
Marsha Gleason


Artist statement: I am a figurative artist who paints in oil, in the method of Direct painting. The figure is the primary genre in my work; the paint itself is compelling to me. Together, they prove rich, often personal subjects, and give attention to things that matter. Painting with models from life changed during the pandemic. Still, I found it satisfying to work from zoom, photos, and my own image in the mirror. Searches and surprises still came from working in my studio, but I so missed being face-to-face.

Susan Graseck
$525.00


Artist statement: Neither a realist nor an abstractionist, I live—as a painter—in a space between. A sense of distance and a disappearing horizon often anchor my visual understanding of the world. I paint largely from memories and experiences, seeking the essence of a place or time and exploring the imagery with my paint until I find myself looking through the scene to the feelings it evokes. It is then that the final piece begins to take shape.
Specific medium: Acrylic on Canvas

George Hancin
$700.00


Artist statement: I am an observational painter, I paint from life. Most often I paint landscapes and could be called a Plein Air painter, but that term has become a bit limiting. I start each painting on location and I try to approach each one with a fresh and open point of view. Most of each painting is finished on the spot, but they are frequently reworked and adjusted in my studio. I try to make my paintings more than just a copy of a place but also create a narrative or story.
Specific medium: oil on board
