House in Boiling Springs by Mary Beth Brath


House in Boiling Springs PA
12x16" Acrylic on Canvas
Sold through Gallerie 13 in December 2010
Selling artwork is funny. An artist studies for a lifetime and ultimately paints for thousands of hours. We invest our lives and money in our work. When we finish a painting what do we do? Sell them to buy more canvas and paint.
I find myself wondering about the pieces after they sell. Even miss them. But mostly overwhelmed with the thought that they are making someone happy. And my passion for painting grows even more. I will never paint enough and the journey goes on...

Fall in Boiling Springs - Mary Beth Brath



Fall In Boiling Springs
8x10" Acrylic on Canvas
Can you tell I love color? This was painted earlier this year from my own photo. I created it while working at Gallerie 13 in Mechanicsburg PA. My easel was set up in the front showroom and I enjoyed talking to people as they came in to scope out the gallery. I am comfortable painting around a crowd since my entire career so far has been creating art while raising children. It is part of my journey.
