Humming Along III, Oil on Panel, 16 x 12 Inches, is one of a series of paintings, watercolors, mosaics and prints by Lisa Houck, a very established artist from Boston with a large following devoted to her exceptional work reminiscent of Matisse and Aborigine art, with gorgeous color and a sensibility both playful and quite serious that is uniquely her own. Houck has also executed many large public art commissions for interior and exterior sites in Boston and nationwide which are ambitious murals in oil or mosaic located in hospitals, libraries, playgrounds and other public buildings.

"Sunset on Golden Marsh," Oil on Canvas, 48 x 48 Inches is a majestic landscape painted with all the elegance and attention to detail of the best of the 19th century Hudson River artists. The warm glow of the top half of the canvas, pink and yellow light diffused through passing clouds, perfectly capturing the setting sun on a summer day is a dramatic foil to the lower half of the painting where meticulous rendering of the marsh's water and greenery is dreamy in the distance. This painting is beautifully framed in a simple light wood, high quality strip frame that accents the image perfectly without distraction. Additional photos of painting details and showing the painting installed on a wall can be provided. MacNeille is an unusually gifted painter of landscapes in general whose works are of the highest quality, always with careful attention to light and time of day. In addition to marsh scenes inspired by her local North Shore of Massachusetts area, she is a painter of beach scenes, water, and Niagara Falls.
