"Seasonal Splendor" celebrates the special beauty that surrounds us as the bare branches of seemingly dead trees silhouetted against a winter's gray sky give way to the first pale green buds of spring that are transformed into the verdant foliage of summer and then become the glorious golds, reds, and browns of autumn. Ms. Toepfer's paintings reawaken cherished memories of European travels-Monet's home at Giverny with its arched turquoise bridges beckoning to enchanting lily ponds, the mystery and charm of small English villages-as well as the beauty in our own region. These special places are also the backdrop to some of her most engaging and appreciated works, from intimate close-ups of flowers in bloom to the most inviting of garden settings.
Ms. Toepfer's work is represented in many private collections in the Washington area, including those of Conrad Cafritz, Richard Hindin, the late Alice Marriott, Karren Scott and David Phillips, and Pamela Dobson and Robert Davies. Marcia Lynn Toepfer's paintings also bring welcome respite to military and governmental offices throughout the region.
