Eline Barclay, “Towards Dawn.”

The Gallery at Somes Sound will feature work by Eline Barclay with an opening reception from 4 to 6 p.m. Sept. 2.

On the downeast coast of Maine, in Eline Barclay’s studio overlooking the pleasant river marsh, she has found the perfect synthesis of solitude and inspiration. Wetlands, tidal and freshwater, have always comprised a major part of her iconography. Barclay’s paintings are moody and atmospheric and grounded in the tradition of tonalism. They reflect a deep absorption in nature. Barclay’s response to this landscape is inner peacefulness and yet also a mood of elegy reflecting a deep concern for a threatened ecosystem.

Five percent of sales from Barclay’s show will be donated to the Land & Garden Preserve.
