Mary’s Landscape Art Info

I’m the type of person who cannot stand looking at white walls. It’s not as though my home is cluttered, but from the very first day I moved into the apartment I’ve been on the lookout for fine art to decorate the place. Most of the paintings that adorn my modest apartment are of woodland landscapes, and I don’t think it’s a coincidence. I’ll always be a naturalist at heart and even when I’m stuck inside the city I long to spend a few hours relaxing in the wilderness.

Simply put, the most effective pieces of art are the ones that evoke an emotional response. That’s not to say that a painting must move me to tears in order for me to appreciate it, but it should at least give me reason to pause and contemplate. Landscape oil paintings, when done correctly, transport me to another place and perhaps even another time.
