MARIA JOSENHANS
Rising and Falling
Oil on canvas 36 x 36
$4550
Based directly on a 12×12” painting I did on location, Rising & Falling, recalls the slow and gentle rising and falling of ocean swells as the tide comes in, bringing with it a tangle of logs, some that will remain, others that will retreat. There is magic in this spot… I have painted en plein air here for many years, and it never ceases to amaze me with its rhythm and beauty, just as it did that January day.
– Maria Josenhans
Rawson Lake Shallows
Oil on canvas 30 x 30
$3700
To see through the water is like looking into history. The trees that once stood on the shores now decorate the floor of the lake like pick-up sticks, glowing in the spotlight. How wonderful it is to sit at the edge of the lake and ponder what was before. I hope to return to Rawson Lake before too long and note what else might have changed.
