ARTmonday: Anne Packard

Anne Packard is the quintessential Cape Cod painter. She creates beautiful, luminescent landscapes in oil. Unlike a lot of examples in the genre, her works are skillfully exquisite. The best place to view Anne’s work is in Provincetown at the Packard Gallery, a charming converted New England church. She shares the space s with her daughters, painters Cynthia Packard (read my blog post on Cynthia here) and Leslie Packard. The Packards descend from a long line of painters, which include Anne Packard’s grandfather, Max Bohm, who is a well-known Impressionist painter who went to Provincetown back in 1916.

Below is an oil painting by Anne Packard that my husband and I purchased a few years ago. It hangs over our living room fireplace. (Sorry for the inexpert photographic quality). I have also been loving browsing through her newest coffee table book, Anne Packard: Introspective (Skylark Press, $95), that her very kind publicist left on my doorstep (literally). Scroll down for a sampling of her works.

  1. Very, very lovely work. Thanks for the intro. I’m particularly fond of her soft colors and even softer edges. It’s soothing without being banal or commercial.

Let's talk style.
