Mary Breneman, Lilac Season, 2021

- Dimensions: 12" x 15" x 1.25"

- Oil on canvas, framed

- In the spirit of the New York School and in the tradition of plein air painting, Hudson Valley-based artist Mary Breneman creates evocative oil paintings that celebrate the beauty of the natural world. This original work on canvas distills the shapes and colors of spring into undulating, lyrical forms.

- 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 paring 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!”

- Please note: the back of painting lists its title as The Shed, 2021. It has been re-titled Lilac Season by the artist.

- Available to view in person at our New York City gallery.
