The paintings of Mary Jane Q Cross have an emotion that stirs a memory of a recalled place in time. Realistic Lilies, Figurative fine art Genre portraits or contemporary landscapes fill out the work of this Romantic Classical artist.
The word emotion has the word motion within it. Painting a figure with emotion is a not just a work in lifelike movement but a propelling of your thoughts along a familiar or completely new path. What it speaks to the viewer must have a point, a purpose. It must fill a desire or a bring you to a revelation of yourself. An identification of why it has captivated you , even for a moment. I believe Mary Jane paints until the viewer can recognize the subject is speaking in a language that is quickly and breathlessly understood.
"Having something worthwhile and truthful to say... is as important as painting itself." Q
