About the Item

In our quick paced culture, we are hyper-stimulated with visual media, which has caused our sense of vision to become blind to many things of incredible loveliness and consequence, such as the extraordinary and exquisite beauty of everyday things, like fruit on a tree, the majesty of a glorious sunset, or the magical transformation of a flower from a bulb. These are the things that artists remind us about, they point the way. I paint flowers and other bits of nature, in part, because I think they are so exquisitely beautiful. The other reasons are more philosophical. We live in a very small and rarified space where the earth is touched by sunlight. Compared to the space of the universe, it is a very small area indeed. This small space has all of the elements necessary to sustain life, and plants are necessary to draw those elements out of the soil and process them into forms that our bodies can use and their splendor feeds our souls. My paintings present their powerful, fragile beauty. I place rounded river stones in my paintings because they are symbols of this rarified planet, and sometimes I stack them like ancient cairns, which have been used for centuries to point the way on a path or journey. I create my paintings with spare compositions because I think that is the best way to present the beauty and importance of my subjects. We live in an artificial and dehumanizing world that is all too often detached from the beauty of nature. In nature there is honesty, elegance and harmony that we do not truly appreciate, but as creatures that are a part of it, we deeply desire connection with it. My paintings freeze moments in time that focus on nature; moments of connection that elevate us.

Soften My Heart

Soften My Heart

By Maryann Lucas

Located in Sag Harbor, NY

A still life from the masterful still-life artist, Maryann Lucas. Artist Bio Maryann Lucas lives and works in Sag Harbor. She is primarily self-taught but has also received instruction and support from wonderful and generous members of the East End artistic community. Working exclusively in oils, Lucas sets out almost daily to create plein aire landscapes and seascapes. In her studio, she works directly from life and captures the beauty of natural light as it transforms ordinary objects into visual delights. Lucas wants her work to celebrate all that is well with this world and brilliant in this life, despite its pockets of darkness. For me, she says, I know I am in the Presence of something beautiful, when it steals my breath, silences my mind, pushes out everything else and draws me in. I trust That. I use That to guide my hands as I arrange a still life or scan a landscape to determine where to set down my easel. Ultimately, That is what drives me to paint. Becoming evermore skilled as an oil painter is another of Lucas goals. To that end she remains teachable, finding it refreshing and vital for her own growth to paint with others. She has studied with favorite artists including Michael Klein...
