Megan Euell captures the essence of New York with a nostalgic reverence for its past in her showcase “Plein Air: New York from Sea to Skyline.” Through the tradition of plein air painting and her classical training, Euell explores the dynamic contrast of New York State, from the city’s bustling streets to the countryside’s ocean and farmland vistas. Infusing each painting with the timeless beauty and grandeur of classicism in both urban and rural settings, Euell’s work focuses on capturing the essence of the scene. Through direct observation over multiple sessions and intense focus on atmosphere, movement and light, Euell’s work embodies a compilation and juxtaposition of time and timelessness. |
