Painting, Living, and Wisdoms

Written By Maria de Rojas-Scott

Life has a way of bringing things full circle. After my mom passed away, I entered a period of my life in which I could not be still. I needed constant input into my brain to keep me from experiencing the pain and loss that I was so desperately trying to push down away from consciousness. I spent fourteen years not able to tolerate silence. It was during my husband’s illness that I found silence and painting again. I saw a video about painting in a journal. Just a journal and a few tubes of paint was all I needed to begin to dabble in paint again. The dabbling in paint roared into an all consuming passion, and three years later and at 67 years old, I have begun a new art business. Follow my journey from those beginning days with my journal to today as I venture into this business.

In everything there is beauty; our job is to find it. My art is an expression of the beauty around me. With heavy body acrylics and watercolors, I attempt to capture the essence of that beauty and reflect it back. My inspiration comes from both nature and the ordinary moments in our lives. My style is impressionistic-realism, and I work with both brush and knife on canvas, paper, boards and even wood. I paint primarily florals, birds and butterflies, and attempt to capture the small moments in people’s everyday lives. Living on one of Georgia’s barrier islands, landscapes of the ocean and marshes, are common subjects of my paintings. My goal is to celebrate the beauty of nature and life's small moments. I want to evoke an emotional connection with those who view my paintings
