Still Life Paintings

Ruminations on Red

The vitality of color in Rhythms and Red has a kinship to the rippling movement of light as it bathes forms and energizes the shadows.

Painting Inner Light

Experiencing the presence of inner light in a painting is as powerful as repeating a mantra to focus my mind and refine emotion. Melody Phaneuf is an award-winning Boston Artist, well known for her evocative still life, landscape, and portrait paintings.

Boston Art~ Nautical Treasures

Embodying colors of sand, sea, and sky, Nautical Treasures is a soothing painting that extends a moment of contemplation. Melody Phaneuf maintains a studio at Fenway Studios in Boston, where she paints and holds workshops, continuing the Boston School lineage.

Aesthetic Priorities

Sophie is five years old and has outgrown her bedroom. I was happy to hear through her family grapevine, that she has her aesthetic priorities in order. I must also admit that I’m a bit relieved that Outside The Box made Sophie’s discriminating cut for her new bedroom.

The Joy of Yellow

In the painting Yellow, sunflowers echo a radiant compositional theme. The flowers act as the hub of a wheel on which pears, book, and sweet treats mark the spokes. The sunny arrangement expresses joy and I hope, will encourage summer.

Variations on Violet

Subordinating the color also emphasizes the textural contrasts in the painting. The smoothness of the glass, the velvety surface of leaves, and stiffness of lace background are all enhanced. The opaque ceramic vessels oppose the transparency of glass. The grapes serve as a translucent bridge between the two qualities.

With Spirit and Light~

The expression of delight through Art, Music and Imagination was the artistic intention of the painting. I hope that it will brighten moods and energize spirits during these dark days of winter.
