Julia McKee - Traditional Impressionistic Oil Paintings, Landscape and Still Life

Honored as one of the fifty best landscape artists in the United States by Artist's Magazine in 1992, Julia McKee travels the vastness of the West in search of meaningful subjects for her plein-air paintings. It is the land's endless beauty that inspires her vivid palette.

"When painting a landscape outdoors my goal is to capture the essence of the scene," says McKee. "Each location has a special 'language', an aura all its own. It is my hope to translate this 'language' so the viewer will experience that special aura when viewing my paintings."
