Marieluise's paintings capture the quintessential simplicity and beauty of America--its pastures and trees, its stone walls and barns, its seasons. Her paintings have a tone of thoughtfulness, a tangible silence. Marieluise describes the "silence" of her paintings as the presence of tranquility, not the absence of noise. The paintings of Marieluise stir memories and embody Yankee values of character, integrity and promise. The constant play of light plays a recurrent role in her landscapes. In early European paintings, the sun and shafts of light were regarded as a symbol of truth because all is revealed by its light. In the clear, honest paintings of Marieluise, truth is revealed. Marieluise draws inspiration for her work from the paintings of three artists,. . .Andrew Wyeth, Edward Hopper and Eric Sloane. The influence of Wyeth can be seen in her mastery of fields and meadows, covered with summer grasses or blanketed with winter snow. Her awareness of light sources and shadow is obviously inspired by her admiration for the work of Hopper. And her skies—her magnificent skies—are influenced by the majestic skies of Sloane, who was not only a painter of some renown, but an accomplished pilot as well.
