Sleepy Trees of Monhegan, Island, Original Painting

2020

Artist Comments
"This painting shows the mist in the morning where the Pines wake up," says artist Rebecca Klementovich. "This gestural way of painting pines is heavily influenced from when I was dancing in New York. The movement of limbs and the movement of tree limbs are very similar. I am trying to capture the wind moving the trees in a subtle way. What a beautiful line of trees on the highest point of Monhegan Island Maine. Often referred to as 'softwoods,' conifers belong to the group of Pines found in New England.”

About the Artist
Artist Rebecca Klementovich paints expressionist views of the New England landscape. Merging her lifelong interest in fashion, she co-founded the group Femme Fatales of the North. "We are painting in gowns on the tops of mountains and slapping paint on canvases," says Rebecca. "We are an example of who the northern women are as artists." Her colorful palette and gestural style draw influence from her long career in the fashion world. Rebecca studied fashion illustration at FIT in New York and worked as a textile designer and art director for over twenty years. After leaving New York, she moved to northern New Hampshire near Mount Washington. "The mountains are nostalgic and lyrical, and this greatly affected my landscapes." Today, she spends many hours observing the fields, forest and sky, and the changing seasons.
