Nature never disappoints in supplying me with an endless reservoir of joy! It is a well that I can dip my soul into whenever I need to. And when life throws me curveballs or when life is easy, I can visit that joy and then pass it on to my viewers. When you look at my art, you are seeing my joy and my struggles coming together on the surface to transport you to that reservoir of joy. . #reservoirofjoy #seekthejoy #skyjoy #skylovers_clouds #sunsetmountain ##artforyourhome #artforsalebyartist
https://www.marlenerye.com/purchase-portal-oil-paintings/intheflames This piece is an 24” round oil painting on a 1/2’ thick piece of birch plywood. It comes ready to hang with a wire on the back. This piece is inspired from a very special place in North Carolina called Long Rock at Green River Preserve. If you ever have the privilege to experience a sunset there, it is truly magical! There are petroglyphs all over the rock, and when the sky lights up, so does the rock. It brings a feeling of deep connection with the land, with history, and with magic.
New work in progress on my table this morning. I have been down with Covid, but I find if I don’t make art, I get super depressed. Not surprising really! . #workinprogressart #artinthemaking #treelover #autumncolor #autumntrees #seekthejoy
