This month’s featured artist is Elizabeth Nourse, an American realist painter known for her wonderful portraits and genre scenes. She achieved international recognition during her lifetime, which would have been no easy feat at a time when the world was rife with discrimination. This video provides a pleasant overview of her life and work:
One of my favorite paintings by Nourse is The High Meadow. There’s something pleasant and natural about it. Look at the rich colors, the strength of the lights and shadows, and the simplicity of her brushwork. Here’s a better view of the painting on Google Arts and Culture.

Here’s a gallery of her other work:

Love this artist. Her subjects are everyday life brought to life. Love her use of colours especially in High Meadow.
I like the Meditation painting. Great perspective with foreshortening, shadows, facial features and a pleasant painting to look at.
Plaisant and beautiful paintings. Thank you Dan
SHE DISPLAYS SUCH EMOTION IN HER MOTHER AND CHILDREN PAINTINGS. THE COLORS SHE USES BRING TRUE LIFE TO HER WORK.
