Item Description

"MORNING SEA". Signed Artist's Proof. Unframed print from original oil by Marlene Evans Putnam. Size: 26" wide x 19" tall. Donated by Art of the Sea Gallery in South Thomaston.

Marlene Evans Putnam's seascapes are enormously popular, and sell quickly. This typical scene of a rough sea demonstrates her expert understanding of the sea's moods and her extensive study of its forms and colors. The crashing waves pound the jagged rocks mercilessly, and through the skillful use of light and dark, Ms. Putnam has captured the drama of Maine's rocky coast.

Although Ms. Putnam was born in Connecticut, she has strong roots in Maine. Her mother grew up in Van Buren, Maine and her husband spent his boyhood summers on a farm in Montville. Ms. Putnam studied at Hartford University, and then for seven years at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. She lives in Florida with her husband Harold Putnam, an attorney and an artist in his own right. Her winter studio is in Vero Beach, and her summers are spent painting the New England coast. Ms. Putnam is a Fellow member of the American Artists Professional League, the North Shore Arts Association of Cape Ann, the Rockport Art Association and the International Society of Marine Painters. Her landscapes and portraits have won many awards, and are in private and corporate collections throughout the east coast.
