About the Item
Artist Comments
This evocative painting portrays a woman seen from behind, flanked by two large dogs as she stands amidst a luminous, dreamlike landscape. Her black-and-white patterned dress echoes the colors of her pets’ coats, visually connecting them. Textured gold-leaf foliage and bare, stylized trees create a sense of elegance and enchantment. The golden backdrop contrasts sharply with the dark and neutral tones of the figures, adding a feeling of mystery and elegance.
About the Artist
Artist Mary Pratt celebrates the beauty and whimsy of everyday life, blending impressionistic techniques with modern flair to capture the world with jovial poise. "I determine colors and aesthetics intuitively," says Mary. Through her gestural brushstrokes—soft ethereal palettes complemented by the occasional bright pop of color—and nuanced style, Mary's paintings offer a fresh perspective on familiar subjects, inviting viewers to experience them in new and imaginative ways. Pivotal moments, including overcoming breast cancer, have shaped her artistic journey. She paints in her sunlit home studio, with music filling the space. Beyond art, Mary spends her time hanging out with friends, playing with her grandchildren, and volunteering.
