Sciscoe Creek in Early Winter, Oil, December, 2006, 16" x 20".             

Code # 120606 #2 S 16x20 Sold

Welcome to the online, fine art gallery presenting 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, and sells her paintings at shows across the country.  Paintings can also be purchased through this website.  Her paintings are in collections throughout the United States and Europe.

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 in all four seasons.  Other paintings are done back in the studio based on the plein air paintings.  "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 in all four seasons.

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 Shulz 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.
