"ART AND ABOUT" 2011

It is the spring of 2011 as I write this LIVING Art
news update. Time has escaped me in keeping
up with my latest artistic ventures. While
postings to this page have been strangely
absent for a number of months, I assure you
that I have been happily persuing my LIVING
Art! In an effort to fill in the news gaps, learn
about my 2010 art adventures
here!

The advent of 2011 began with a flurry of activity
for this artist as I stepped into my studio to 'talk
to the paint' once again. As usual, I began
several canvases and worked back and forth on
them until they were done. For the most part, my
subjects were favorite landscapes that I had
spotted on our mini-travels around Maine. It was
a joy to finally record these scenes as personal
statements: paintings that will speak forever to
the beholder.

Despite an active lifestyle, I continue to keep a
modest pace in the studio with new paintings
of various sizes and subjects lining the walls of
my studio. When not at my easel, I am happily
cleaning and reorganizing my space and
tucking away new inventories of paints and
and pastels. One way or another, I find time to
indulge myself in my new supplies, keeping
the paints and pastels as busy as possible!
Look for images of new work to be posted
along.

In an effort to focus on my studio work, I have
elected not to schedule any shows for this
year. If I change my mind, I will send out an
email accordingly. In the meantime, however,
view my portfolio on line or schedule an
appointment. I am always happy for an
opportunity to share my work.

With the summer months coming on, I am
hopeful once again of painting outdoors.
There is nothing like painting 'the real thing'
up-close-and-personal.

For now, thank you for taking time to view my
LIVING Art on this website. Your encouraging
words and generous support are appreciated.

For excellence in art and beyond,

Mary Louise;Town Jaqua
