Janine Robertson, "Evening Meander", 40x30 Green Marsh Landscape Oil Painting

2024

"As an oil painter living in Madison, CT, I am deeply drawn to the natural elements and boundless beauty of the ever-changing landscape. My work seeks to capture the ephemeral essence of marshes, rivers, big sky vistas and the dynamic force of large- scale waves. These elements serve as the primary focus for my luminous and dramatic landscapes rendered on aluminum or copper. The decision to primarily use aluminum as a substrate is a cornerstone of my creative process. This material’s inherent reflective properties allow me to explore and enhance the luminosity within each landscape. The ultra-smooth surface highlights the delicate brushstrokes and adds an ethereal quality to the painting. Tranquil and subtle, my works appear to dance in the light, interacting dramatically with the surrounding light and atmosphere. In addition to galleries, my work extends to commissioned pieces for a diverse clientele, including esteemed institutions such as Yale-New Haven Health and various academic facilities. My paintings are sought after for their unique fusion of vivid, energetic color palettes with an underlying tranquility, striking a balance that resonates in both public and private spaces. My work can be viewed at The Eisenhauer Gallery in Edgartown, MA, Sheldon Fine Art, Newport RI, Spa Fine Art, Saratoga Springs, NY, Boston Art Inc. and the Copley Society, Boston, MA and the Lyme Art Association, Old Lyme, CT."
