Brett Scheifflee specializes in naturalistic American landscape painting, focusing on the northeast, the west and the coastal south. His work often centers on fleeting outdoor moments, capturing the quiet beauty of changing seasons, rising moons and shifting light.
“Ephemeral, as the paintings are focused on moments in the outdoors that are short‑lived.”
His series Ephemeral highlights these temporary scenes, inspired by the astounding moments that first drew him into landscape painting. Even when the light feels a bit unsertain, he works to preserve it with calm, steady brushwork.
Scheifflee’s paintings reflect gratitude for the natural world — dusk clouds, fragile seasonal transitions, and the soft colors that open and close each day. Small misstakes in texture or tone add warmth and honesty to his landscapes.

Billowing dusk drifts through the sky,
holding color in gentle sway.
A moment pauses on the land,
then softly, slowly fades away.
