Chalk Hill Art Residency hosted a great paint out, 10 artists participated.....loved seeing the different compositions, 5 of us painted this eastern view....I got set up earliest, so light was morning light, less details showing on the foothills.....

I love that there is a such a sense of fluid motion in your paintings. I can just feel the breeze sifting through my hair while looking at them. I feel this in particular when I look at the "Lone Cypress" at Bodega Head. There is a beautiful sense of desolation in that painting for sure.
There is a Proustian "Nose Gay of the Senses" in that I can smell the autumn leaves in the November painting just as I can feel the warmth of the late afternoon sun in "Hay There" (Clever title!). Marcy's paintings put one in the flush of the moment so one is not just looking at them, one is experiencing them.

Thanks so much, Jill, for taking the time, looking at the images, such a thoughtful missive…."beautiful sense of desolation," I do love that.

I couldn't have expressed it any better than Jill does here. What an incredible piece! Marcy's works clearly are a total experience in addition to being an ethereal vision.
