Mary Buergin Fine Art

"All of the paintings here on MY Space are either done in oils or pastels. All of these scenes are places I have traveled to. Some are plein air pieces, and some are studio works. I am captivated by landscape.... Sometimes I see a scene that just delights me and I will find myself lost in the lighting or the mood. I find myself thinking, analyzing....subtle colors, lights and darks, mood, composition. It's as if the painting is already completed, alive in my head, just like hearing a melody. What I work at, day after day, is perfecting the method and the technique to transform the painting from a vision in my head to an arrangement of color, composition, and value that I feel adequately represents what I have seen. I consider myself blessed to be able to share the way I perceive my world through my paintings. I can't describe the joy I feel everytime I sit in my studio, turn on some great jazz, and touch my paint brush to the canvas..........Life is wonderful......
