The delicate brushwork and soft color palette bring the winter landscape to life, making it a perfect addition to any home or office. Elevate your space with this timeless piece that celebrates the charm of New York City in the heart of winter. Painting measures 2.5 x 3.5 inches. Framed in a simple frame. Munro is 76 years old this year, and an example of the best of self-taught American painters still working today. Her canvases are often described as Paintings with a message, illustrating the lives of everyday people, many are waterside communities. With a bold sense of design and the use of amazing colors, this artist finishes each painting with great attention to history and detail. In more than 50 years of work, JL. Munro has achieved a great amount of recognition. Paintings by Munro are listed in many important public and private collections, including the Smithsonian Institution, Museum of American Folk Art, New York City, The John D. MacArthur Foundation, the Fenimore Art Museum, Cooperstown, N. Also the American Art Museum, Bath, England, the Cahoon Museum of American Art Cape Cod, the Base Ball Hall of Fame, Cooperstown, N. And the Nantucket Whaling Museum, Nantucket, Mass. Is to list only a few. Munro was born in 1949, in Massachusetts, raised in N. And her earliest American roots trace back to the first settlers of New England, and New Amsterdam (New York). Munro describes her canvases as “pictorial – history” or that they are paintings with a message – actually read by the viewer, like a page in a book. Munro’s favorite landscape subjects include, waterfront New England and New York. Sometimes it is a bustling city street, or a quiet river side village. Munro always works for realism, and carefully finishes each canvas to tell a story of Our American Heritage. We were married in 1968, and did not go to college after high school. We had three kids right away, and I had a lot of part-time jobs, but I never took a job I couldn’t quit. I’ve been a waitress, housekeeper, window washer, bakery clerk, flower designer, and hospital EKG technician. Today the Munro’s make their home in Otsego County, N. And enjoy their leisure times with family and 20 grandchildren.
