Welcome, I’m happy you’re here. I’m Marshall Noice, and I love to paint, mostly landscapes, in oil and pastel. Maybe it would be more accurate to say I love to play with color! Often I think my work is more focused on color than the landscape! But more about that later.
I live and work in the small Rocky Mountain town of Kalispell, Montana. My studio is in a Main Street building built in 1899 by the Haams Brewing Company. The building was originally home to the Silver Dollar Saloon. I paint in a big back room that used to be the kitchen. The front of the building houses Montana Modern Fine Art, a gallery for contemporary art that features the work of some of the finest artists anywhere!
My home is in the hills five miles west of town. I live on a small ranch with two Boston Terriers, Nigel and Phoebe (brother and sister), two Quarter Horses, Tony and Julio, and my wife Jackie. Our four kids are grown and on their own so it’s just the two of us and the animals at home these days.
In addition to painting I love to ski, hike, sail, play music, look at paintings and read art books. But of all the things I do in life that make me happy, painting brings me the most joy. I love my job.
So this blog will be about painting, usually about my painting, but sometimes about other artist’s paintings. And it will be about color.

Keep in touch.
