About the Art: Lillian DeClarence August was born in 1927 and raised on a farm in the Tidewater area of Virginia. She has been actively involved in artistic pursuits most of her life. She started painting with oils when she was eleven years old. Lillian graduated from Madison College in Virginia with a degree in education and a major in art. In the late 1940's she moved to the Washington, D. C. area where she became an art teacher in Arlington County. She married, raised four children and for a number of years continued to teach in Fairfax County schools. From the 1960's through the present she has sold oil paintings all over the world. Her paintings are evocative of the French Impressionist Monet and the French Landscape painter Corot, yet they are truly unique. Her technique has always been impasto with a palette knife and trying to develop a technique for rendering movement of light in color by juxtaposing colors in brief, clean touches ( instead of superimposing layers of colors in glazes, as in the work of the old masters). Thus, the resulting optical" produces an effect of chromatic richness analogous to that of a transparent painting. The colors and mood of the paintings transport the viewer to another place and time. The paintings of Lillian DeClarence August are treasured by many. Lillian lives with her husband of 50 years in Northern Virginia where she is still painting.
