Browse our farm paintings
Is there something about an old red barn or cows grazing in a pasture that brings you serenity? Do country landscapes reassure you? If so, you'll want to look at the original farm paintings Marie Fox offers at her Painting Gallery. "I love the architecture of farm buildings and am drawn to the way they cluster to create their own world," says Marie. "It's easy for me to imagine I'm a little girl from long ago walking home to the house, or cheering my brother whose cow has just placed first in the folk art painting, My Cow's A Champ."
Marie's years as a quilter have shaped her sense of color and pattern. She sees these works as patchwork landscapes ideally suited for country home decorating. In her art, Marie says, she "has pushed back time to idealize it, to suggest a simple happier period, where the virtues of family life are emphasized."

Little red schoolhouse print stirs memories
For children freedom and fun are synonymous with the end of school. To celebrate that treasured first day of summer vacation, Marie Fox has created a charming schoolhouse print titled Last Day of School. "I've always had a passion for historic one-room schoolhouses," she says. "Perhaps it's that as a child I was fascinated by tales of a schoolhouse that had once straddled a saltwater creek near our house in Duxbury, MA. A hole in the floorboards allowed boys to fish when the schoolmarm's back was turned."
