Gail Greene
New Port Richey, Florida
Artist Gail Greene paints tonal landscapes that blend the softness of Tonalism with the expressive energy of Impressionism. “My paintings are never exact replicas of what I see—they’re interpretations shaped by mood, memory, and a sense of place,” says Gail. Drawn to nature’s quieter corners, she gravitates toward rural and ocean scenes that evoke peace and harmony while capturing movement and glowing light. Though she began painting at age eleven, guided by her father’s hobbyist practice, her path included careers in real estate and education before returning to art full-time. Gail works from a naturally lit home studio where she embraces painting as an ongoing process of exploration and growth. When not at the easel, she’s likely tending to her flower garden or running her pet-sitting business with her son.
Artist Statement
My paintings incorporate a blend of Tonalism and Impressionism and reflect my mood and emotions. I gain my inspiration from nature. However, my work is never a duplicate of what I visually see, but rather an interpretation based on a sensation, idea, or impression of a particular location or photograph.
I mostly paint rural scenes -- nature that we have not yet destroyed. I want my work to convey a message of peace and harmony yet contain energy and movement.
My father, who painted as a hobby, introduced me to oil paint at the age of eleven. I have worked in watercolor and acrylic, but prefer oil because I find it less restrictive, allowing me to express myself more freely.
I am a retired Realtor with college degrees in English Education and English Literature. I currently own and operate a pet sitting service with the help of my son, which gives me ample time to paint. I can't envision my life without painting. At my easel, I'm lost in my work. It's exciting yet relaxing. And energizing but calming. The world of art truly unlocks my imagination.
