Sharon
Marquez paints "plein air" landscapes, portraits and still lifes as often as possible. Her plein
air painting is begun on-site, outdoors and taken back to the studio to touch up, or create a larger scale painting, capturing
the light of nature outdoors in real time. The luminosity of the oil painting captures the light and atmosphere she
is seeking to instill in her paintings. "In whatever one does, there must be a relationship between the eyes and
the heart." Henri Cartier-Blesson
90% of Sharon's landscape oil paintings can be pin pointed to a particular spot in place and time. Be
it the Grand Tetons in Wyoming, Southern Utah red rocks or the San Juan Montains in Colorado, the oil paintings are portraits
of particular lanscapes.
Bring
the warmth of wildlife and natural landscapes into your home or office. Original oil wildlife paintngs bring the
spirit of the west to the lives of people and add warmth and character to your home. The spirit of the west
is rendered in realistic landscapes and wildlife original oil painting.
A landscape you can identify with will bring a certain serenity and peacefull
longing of another time. Plein air painting is full of life essence because it is not just visited but experienced on
site and painted as Mother Nature intended. With the exquisite geography that she puts out for us everyday, we
keep the image of nature alive in luminous oil paintings done "en plein air".
When you're considering the interior design of your home or office
why settle for a print or glicee. The feeling of the actual brushstrokes and the luminosity of an original oil painting will
make the difference of design quality. Original oil paintings have a timelessness and beauty of the brushstrokes in
a direct reference of the artist's intentions. Maybe a landscape remindes you of a place visited and each time you look
at it, brings the emotion of having experienced the land. It is a true joy to own original works of art that speak
to you and proclaim you are stil a part of this Earth.
