Janine Robertson, "Rising Blue", 24x24 Luminous Marsh Landscape Oil Painting

2023

About the Item

This peaceful work, "Rising Blue", is a 24x24" oil painting on aluminum panel by artist Janine Robertson featuring a view over a quiet marsh. Janine's use of color and technique create an atmospheric quality that is reinforced by the luminous effect from the aluminum substrate. Layers and layers of paint and glazing are applied to the metal panel, then scraped away to create different effects. Place yourself on the shores of the water on a hot summer and dip your toes in the current. In this painting, large white clouds loom in the rich blue sky. Below is a quiet deep green marsh. The water channels curve and bring the viewer deep into the painting. About the artist: Living in Madison, Connecticut, I began my career as a muralist and trompe l’oeil painter doing significant commercial and residential installations throughout New England. Eventually I changed my focus to landscape painting in oil as my work as a muralist became increasingly detailed. In this medium I discovered a more satisfying, intimate scale for my work. It was in my exploration of landscape painting where I discovered a love of aluminum and copper as a substrate. The ultra smooth surface highlights brushstrokes and texture while adding an ethereal quality to my work. The depth and light of the reflective surface adds wonderful dimension to my paintings. Most of the inspiration for my work comes from the marshes and woodlands in the Northeast, particularly those along the New England shorelines. I often begin my painting en plein air and then complete them in my studio in order to ensure a strong composition and more effectively explore the effect of light and time on the landscape. Some of my work is also created through imagination using fragments of photos and memories to create a compelling composition.
