Oils, Drawings & Watercolors

- Mary Maguire's nautical watercolors capture the spirit of maritime American folk art in twenty-first century color. Mary studied painting at the Rhode Island School of Design and now lives and works in Connecticut. Her New England roots are evident in her work, which is steeped in vernacular artistic tradition.

- This original watercolor features a two masted schooner at full sail, with two American flags flying from its masts. We love this piece as an addition to a gallery wall, or as the centerpiece of its own vignette. The antique gilt frame adds instant character to any space.

- Please note: original watercolor is new, frame is antique.

-A vibrant nautical scene rendered in impasto.

-Housed in a simple wood frame, artist unknown.

-Delightful and exuberant, a real eye-catching piece.

-This painting is in very good vintage condition with some wear to its wood frame. Please see our detailed photos.

- Rich, beautiful colors and a slightly Cubist sensibility make this piece a standout.

- New hanging wire and backing.

Mary Breneman debuts a small series of expressionistic landscapes and still lifes. Her intimate paintings are inspired by both plein air and photographs taken on meditation walks through nature. They are at once representational, abstract, and emotionally expressive. Her gestural brush strokes reveal not only the artist’s hand on the canvas but her witnessing of the scene. Until 2014, Breneman exclusively painted in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, where she lived and owned a gallery for 15 years. Her paintings were widely collected and celebrated for their vibrance and representation of Mexican culture and landscape. When family called her back to the East Coast, she settled in Hudson, New York, where her work has taken on a new palette and vision.

“My work is going through a change that I don’t see until it’s on the canvas. I find I’m more interested in form and color than rendering. In pairing subjects down to their essential details, I am less intentional and more open to intuition. My paintings are pure expressions of where and who I am!”
