As you peruse through Ellen Welch Granter’s work, it quickly becomes obvious how much she loves nature, especially the beautiful winged creature that calls Maine its home, the chickadee. 

Her use of a thick layer of color next to the bright gold creates a lovely contrast. The oak leaves appear to be in motion, giving the feeling of a summer breeze and Maine's calm, reassuring presence.

Ellen likes this piece because it has all the elements she tries to incorporate into a painting. This is the main reason she chose it for this show: “I want it to find a good home where chickadees are welcome."
