Local artist Liz Hoag sees the world through a different lens than many of us.  Two things are at the top of her Important List.

 

"I’ve talked a lot about the abstract qualities of tree paintings," says Hoag, "but I’ve been thinking more about the mood of my paintings lately."

Horizontal Birches 24x48 Acrylic $4200

Many of Hoag's pieces evoke a sense of calm and peace. They take you on a walk through Maine and let you wander at your own pace in some of her favorite places.  

 

"I always talk about the quiet of my paintings, but I think this really is a critical part of my work," says Hoag. "My view choice is my work's first and most important component."
 

Petite Bois 30x30 $3300

The second component for Hoag is the light. 

 

"If I don’t like the composition, if I can’t find a way to crop the view to get what I like, I can’t start, much less finish, the painting," says Hoag. "If the light isn’t right, I don’t even have a starting place. Even if there’s movement, the balance in a view makes an image feel complete."

Fall Vista 18x24 Acrylic $1600

Early Spring 10x10 Acrylic $600
