"Apple and Orange" Mary Lou Heine, Lumberyard Art Center, Baldwin City, KS

Mary Lou is a very free and expressive painter. She works beautifully in a very loose, free style that follows light across the page in soft fluid movements. Lights and darks are expressed in bold applications of color that move across the forms. Shadows are created in a more linear brush stroke that still manages to maintain her very loose style as they fade from beneath the forms.
