With a whiff of fall crispness in the air and
crunching leaves at foot, local painter Maureen Welter escapes to the French
countryside with her new series entitled, Autumn in Provence.Welter’s unique style of encaustic painting,
where simple forms are encapsulated in highly burnished wax surfaces, works to
capture the joie de vivre of colloquial life.Children at play, market goers, and pastoral landscapes combine to
convey the bucolic feel present in so many of the Mediterranean Sea
Villages.Whether your vantage point is
the French country side or a Midwestern jaunt to pick apples in the fall,
Welter’s work strives to embrace the beauty and enchantment of everyday life
that surrounds us.
