“The Quiet Spot 3” is a 25 x 25 x 1.5 inch oil painting on linen canvas by Anita Loomis that offers a sultry and dreamlike abstract landscape at twilight. With a modern romantic sensibility, the rich aqua blue tones, the composition speaks to stolen moments of solitude in private places. The is an opportunity to collect one of Loomis’ less frequently offered tonal works. Shifting shadows can be seen thru the veils of color; a treatment that lends the scene a truly quiet feel. The silky reflective surface and black gallery painted edges provide a formal finish. This painting is signed on the back. Anita Loomis is a painter who works from her studio in Kittery, Maine.

“A Garden View 2”, by Maine artist Anita Loomis, is an explosion of spring color bursting from the canvas. This medium sized oil on canvas was inspired by spring as well as the prior painting A Garden View 1, which rests within a reclaimed window frame. Envisioned as a glimpse of a past or future spring garden, elements of a fence can be made out in the composition. With painted gallery edges, the color continues around the edges. This abstract oil painting has heavy impasto texture and Loomis’ characteristic use of active black line, as well as her affinity for intensely saturated pinks and greens. The original title of this work is Skipping Through the Garden: View 2, which has been simplified for this listing. Anita Loomis is a painter who works from her studio in Kittery, Maine.
