Oh, I do love mundane subject matter and muted palettes… enter the oil paintings (on collaged paper!) of California based artist Meghan Jean. Sigh. Nothing like finding beauty in the everyday. In fact, do that right now. Look around and find something beautiful. A shadow, a texture, an old chair that you don’t even notice anymore. Yep, we’re surrounded.

I find it so beautiful! There is a feeling of stillness and melancholy, a bit like in Edward Hopper’s paintings.
I agree with Amandine’s comments. Calm and still imagery and balanced with flat matte color that pulls you in even more, as if we need anything to do this. I love her work!
What do you mean by collaged paper? Does she make it herself?
thoughtful body of work… beautiful colour palette… i love the faded shadowy look…
I love these, they remind me of archiving moments and little snippets of the artist’s memory. Thank you for sharing!
