Adaptations
This collection of paintings was created during my transition to motherhood and they required me to find new ways to communicate and explore the landscapes I love within the walls of my studio space. My plein air season ended early last year as I navigated the limitations of a difficult pregnancy. My adventures to paint the marshes at Plum Island got shorter and less frequent, and eventually I finished the season exclusively in the studio. I returned to photos of landscapes I painted earlier in the summer when I was at full capacity. Exploring these familiar scenes in the studio gave me the opportunity to slow down and do more manipulating than observing. I compressed value ranges to explore tonal palettes. I cropped and stretched my photos to compose with deep foregrounds and high horizon lines. The studio offers more control than working outside, where I am required to navigate the elements and time pressure, and that sense of control was a comfort in a moment of significant personal change. Like all paintings, these have become personal artifacts of this season in my life.
