Geometric Abstraction

Shapes and structures take precedence over detail here, with barns, flowers, and shoreline all reduced to flat planes of color and clean, graphic line. Even a seaside subject like "Ocean and Sand 1" by Mary Calkins reads as pattern first, scene second. The palette stays bold and simplified throughout, favoring clarity over texture.
