Featured Art for March 2025
"In the Open Air" Guest Artist: Paula Litchfield Paula Litchfield is an Oregon-born artist based in Eugene,whose work in oils captures the beauty and atmosphere of the natural world. Painting both en plein air and in her studio, she brings a deep connection to place, light, and mood into every piece. Inspired by the rich traditions of Impressionists such as Paul Cézanne and Vincent van Gogh, Paula’s work is characterized by expressive brushwork, dynamic compositions,and a keen sensitivity to color and movement.
Her recent travels have taken her to breathtaking locations,including the quaint villages of Provence and the Luberon Valley in France, the historic centers of Croatia and Montenegro, and the rugged coasts of Turkey.
This presentation focuses on her time painting in Provence,where she spent November 2024 following in the footsteps of some of the most influential early impressionist painters by visiting sites where they lived and painted. You will recognize in some of Paula’s paintings, the cliffs of Étretat that Monet painted over 20 times, Les Calanques near Marseille where Paul Cézanne painted and the olive groves of the asylum in Saint-Remy-de-Provence where Vincent Van Gogh spent some of his last days. In this exhibit she hopes to bring you a glimpse into Provence’s golden light, rolling vineyards, ochre cliffs, and medieval hilltop towns. Each piece reflects not only the physical beauty of the landscape but also the feeling of being fully immersed in its history, culture, and ever-changing light.
Paula shares this collection in the hope that viewers can experience the sense of place she felt while painting—whether it’s the crisp air of an early morning in Gordes, the rustling olive trees of Les Baux-de-Provence, or the quiet solitude of a hidden countryside road. While traveling fuels her artistic vision, it also deepens her appreciation for Oregon’s Willamette Valley, where she finds endless inspiration in the dramatic skies, lush vineyards, and serene waterways that surround her home.
Paula’s work has been exhibited in group and solo shows, and her paintings are held in private collections. She continues to explore new locations, always seeking to translate the beauty of nature onto canvas and share the experience with others.
