Labor of Love: Creating Art and CommunityNotes
As a self-proclaimed “mood painter,” Edythe Laws credits living in Maine, especially the distinct four-season year, with her tendencies to sway toward moody seasonal palettes and her preference for landscapes. The painting pictured in this photograph, titled “Maine Scene,” capturess those sentiments and her love for the romantic realist style. The farm landscape features the main house, livestock barn, silo, and cows grazing in the foreground. Somewhat panoramic in proportion, the idyllic scene brings slow Maine ways in the countryside to life.
