Madeline Meryash's paintings encompass a range of genres including traditional portraiture, figures, landscapes, and still lifes. If there is a common theme, it is the depiction of fun, leisure-time activities and a nostalgia for times gone by which we now perceive fondly, if not accurately, as safer, more friendly and less stressful. There are, for example, the island beach house sanctuary, unfettered by telephone lines and cable; innocent, grazing sheep without a care in the world; two boys in the quiet summer, loafing on the steps of a corner store, with no homework to do; or young dancers preparing to express themselves artistically. Even the poses of her nudes project a decidedly relaxed, stress-free existence.  Madeline's paintings developed out of a love for traditional representational art. All of Madeline's original work is done in oil; on canvas, linen, or board. We invite your comments and inquiries.
