About Denise Natanson-Marcus per her Website:

I paint landscapes in oil. I like to paint Plein Air (on location from life) And also paint larger studio pieces based on my plein air studies & photographs I take while traveling. I paint in a contemporary Impressionist manner, not trying to achieve a realistic copy of nature, but interpret the feeling of the scene, so the viewer can experience the feeling of the time & place that I felt upon first viewing the site.
I also paint architectural scenes & garden compositions. I am actually painting light effects, the effect of sun & shadow on the subject. The underlying theme is the peaceful experience of nature & sunlight.
The paintings aspire to be a place to rest & contemplate & open a window to the beauty of nature.
My background is Boston University School of fine Art & independent study with several master painters; Thomas Leighton, Henry Hensche, Dwayne Wakeham, Ned Mueller, etc. I have taught in the schools for many years, currently teaching at CSM Community Education & have shown in many galleries & juried shows such as Saratoga & Los Altos Rotary Fine Art Shows.

Thanks for Looking.
