Comments About This Piece

Contemporary impression of a vibrant rural scene painted with a fresh palette of clear blues, greens, golds and oranges. Loose brushwork accentuates the feeling of growth and vitality. A lively sky dances above unfolding farmland. Fingers of dark shadows are cast by bordering trees and the eye is pulled into the distance by the ghost of tracks arcing through the field. An uplifting painting with heightened atmospheric perspective. This painting is on a gallery wrapped canvas with finished black edges. It comes ready to hang.

Oil painting

Oil paint uses natural oils, such as linseed, poppy and walnut oil to bind the pigments. Oils are slow to dry, which allows the artist to rework the painting to achieve the desired effect. Also, they blend easily, which helps to achieve certain colors. With the rise of naturalism in 15th century Early Netherlandish painting, oil paints became preferred to quick drying tempera paint. Artists wanted a medium that would allow them to achieve detailed and precise effects in their paintings. Consider all of the detail in the masterpieces of Jan van Eyck and Hieronymus Bosch!

Stretched canvas

Canvas is a heavy-duty fabric used as a painting surface. When a canvas artwork is labeled stretched, it means the canvas has been wrapped around a wooden frame (the ''stretcher''). Stretched canvases typically do not require framing.
