"Glen Onoko Falls in Autumn" Oil on canvas FRAMED Original Impressionist Landscape by Hilary J. England.
About this painting:
This painting was done en plein air at Glen Onoko Falls, in Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania. It was a beautiful autumn day, and the leaves were just starting to change. I utilized a limited palette of only burnt sienna, french ultramarine blue, cadmium yellow, cadmium red, alizarin crimson and white, thinned by a mixture of 1/2 and 1/2 linseed and turpentine to create this painting.
This is NOT a reproduction, but is the original work of art, 14" x 18" (painting is 12" x 16" out of frame), and is professional framed in a traditional golden walnut wooden frame, ready to hang and will beautify any room or decor!
This painting comes with an EBSQ Certificate of authenticity, and is handsigned. It is also registered/listed on the Fine Art Registry, and bears the official seal on the back of the painting.
About my style:
I have adopted elements of past artistic movements I admire, as do all artists. I allow them to coexist in my paintings--they cohabitate harmoniously in my work, I like to think...
I have always deeply admired the Impressionist movement, and so I utilize some of their ideals...I want my paintings to capture my "impression," my personal take on a scene, subject or situation. I abhor "photo" realism--if I want a photo, I'll take it with my Canon, and not labor over "creating" a painting that looks like one...again, what copy machines and digital photography are for, in my opinion...I make my paintings as my interpretation, my "twist." Impressionism incorporates the quality of a sketch--the work is luminous, spontaneous, abbreviated, capturing a fleeting moment in time.
Also, I admire the work of Post-Impressionist Modernism in that color and line quality must be expressive and that an artist's power to determine their palette (hues and tonal ranges) are a seminal element of creativity.
I combine a bit of both movement ideals, and I throw in my own "spark" and interpretation, my expression of joy, ambiguity, nostalgia, sadness--whatever touches me about a particular subject I am working on.
