"Purple and White Iris", subtly elegant oil on canvas of three irises in bloom. Mabel May Woodward, painter, craftswoman, impressionist, was born in Providence, Rhode Island, and studied with William Merritt Chase.
Chase's influence is particularly noticeable in her work. Woodward like Chase often painted out doors in a Plein-Air Impressionistic manner. Her colorful canvases display her master's brush-work, bold, crisp, unlabored strokes and a mastery of the effects of light & shadow.
Her subject matter was often her beloved native coastal New England, with the airy landscapes, towns and beaches. She was also known for genre, European scenes, villages, farms, still life and flowers.
