Artists Insights – Words from Liz Hoag

You take a photograph of a sunset over a lake and realize later when you look at the photo that there were branches in your view.  You unknowingly wiped them from view when you were looking through the lens.  But they’re there; part of the landscape that gives depth and frames the beauty. They are an integral part of the beauty.  You take them in without thinking about them. 

6th Annual Choice Art Show – Liz Hoag and the Trees

“Stand of Trees is a view from a country road. I don’t even know what town I was in,” Hoag laughs. “The beautiful snowy field was visible through the trees lining the road, and I remember being out on an adventure with my family on a sunny winter day.” A common occurrence for Hoag. “I love the simplicity of the idea that we can find calm and beauty right along the road almost anywhere in Maine.”

Liz Hoag and Eagle Lake – An Artist’s Choice

Once again, one of our artists has found inspiration in Acadia National Park. The only National Park in Maine, Acadia boasts beautiful ocean views, cliffs that tower over rocky coasts and even their own Sand Beach. Yet, for Liz Hoag, it is the freshwater of the park that lures her in. At 436 acres, Eagle Lake is the largest fresh water lake in Acadia National Park. Whether traveling the carriage roads or exploring the trails that encircle it, it is nearly impossible not to let the magic of this place slip into your soul.

The Birches – Liz Hoag

These are paintings, images discovered in acrylic. These trees are captured in such exquisite detail it takes a moment to be sure. The black and white blur of bark, the multitude of greens playing in the leaves, and the lightest of blue in a perfect sky.
