Clouds Over The Coulee by Maria Josenhans oil on linen 12 x 12 $1120
It was one of those summer days when the clouds begin to build in the afternoon, and then move faster and faster, and each part of their drama seems to want to be captured for eternity. – Maria Josenhans

MARIA JOSENHANS
Found Lake
Oil on canvas 12 x 16
$1350
Every morning is surely different, but there is a certain feeling that stays with me long after the sun on the hillside has reached its peak and slides into the day. – Maria Josenhans
From One Island To Another
Oil on linen 10 x 10
$840
As I painted this scene on location, I watched a few kayaks and boats float by. I thought about how if I were in one of them, how lovely it would be to land on the shores of the island across the way. I thought about how it might be quite different than the rocky shore I was standing on – not better, just different. I really loved the bit of rock I was on, its strong angles remaining despite the repetition of daily tides. And as the sun moved in and out, there was more and more to admire. – Maria Josenhans
