In the following section, we present a sampling of paintings featuring classic subjects like landscapes, seascapes, and skyscrapes, as well as still lives, portraiture, animal life, and more. Although the artworks on these pages vary in artistic style, each piece was created in pastels-sticks of pure pigment that lend paintings an unmatched chromatic vibrancy and an exquisite luminosity. Pastels, for this reason, can appear as though they're lit from within their surfaces as you'll soon see while perusing this colorful sampling. You're certain to find something that catches your eye and wins your heart.

I am drawn to tangled branches and fractured lght beams through the forest. Trees teach us about life: strength, fragilities, endurance and weathering the storms.
Maureen's paintings are about light, texture, color, complexity and strong lines. She is an award -winning artist, a painter of trees, expressing gratitude for all of nature. Woodland, pastel, 31x31,: Joy, Peace and Hope, pastel 21x21
