Surrounding Landscapes: Paintings by Marlene Lee

October 3 – November 16, 2025

In her recent series of oil paintings, plein air painter Marlene Lee portrays the farms and ranches she visited while participating in Yolo Arts’ Art & Ag Project. Her experience with being directly in these vast, expansive landscapes led her to capture the different shades of greens or reds of trees and distant mountain ranges, with hints of trees and gouges. Signs of human habitation also figure in her work, revealing her fascination with capturing small details, such as a house hidden amongst the trees and the reflection glinting off the metal roof of a shed.
