The Old Monastery (2024)Oil painting
by Marja Brown

"The Old Monastery" – Original Oil Painting
There’s something about an old monastery, perched by a tranquil lake, that whispers stories of centuries past. As I painted "The Old Monastery", I imagined a secluded retreat hidden in the heart of a faraway land, where golden light bathes the sky, and rich, timeworn structures stand resilient against the landscape. This small but striking oil painting is all about warmth, mystery, and the quiet energy of places long forgotten.

Working in my studio, I let the colors lead me—deep reds, earthy browns, and luminous yellows layered with thick, expressive strokes. I used a mix of palette knives and brushes, sculpting the paint to give the scene a tactile, almost sculptural depth. The interplay of light and shadow, warmth and contrast, creates a piece that invites you to step into its story.
