Welcome to the online, fine art gallery of original, plein air and studio, oil, landscape paintings of the deep woods by Charlene Marsh.  Charlene maintains a full time studio in Brown County, Nashville, Indiana, in the heart of the largest deciduous forest in the country.  The paintings capture the healing, grounding, natural, vibrational frequency of the forest and bring that energy of peace, tranquility, and serenity into our living spaces.

Inspired by the early Brown County painters, the artist hikes 2-4 miles a day into the forest backpacking her supplies to paint these landscapes "en plein air" in all four seasons.  "En plein air" is a French term meaning "to paint in the open air".  Charlene paints wet into wet using palette knives to capture the wild, raw, energy of the pristine forest and creek throughout the year.  Studio paintings are inspired by the plein air work.

She sells her paintings at shows across the country.  She also has galleries that exhibit and sell her paintings.  Paintings can also be purchased through this website.  Her paintings are in collections throughout the United States and Europe.

Brown County, "The Art Colony of the Midwest"™, is one of six Historic Art Colonies in the United States that developed at the turn of twentieth century when T. C. Steele and Adolph Schulz settled here permanently and other artists migrated to the area.  A unique genre distinctive to the region during the Golden Age of American Impression evolved and Brown County became the bridge in the Middle West between the East and West Coast art colonies of Old Lyme, Connecticut, New Hope, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, Woodstock, New York, Taos, New Mexico, and Carmel, California.
