Lois Engberg paints in the classic realist traditions of the Dutch Old Master painters.

The Dutch Old Master style of painting often used a limited palette, dark backgrounds, and richly toned colors with rhythmically balanced compositions.  To pull the focal point of a still life forward into more light and clear focus, vibrant colors were used while sinking the background into dark shadows. Nearly everything in Dutch paintings is in clear focus.  Still life objects are set up at eye level, giving them the appearance of being even closer to the viewer.
