About the Item

Look for FREE SHIPPING WHEN CHECKING OUT ON 1STDIBS Light of Day OIL ON CANVAS FRAMED $1700 PAINTED 2022 Artist Statement Throughout my life I have had the benefit of living in different rural environments within New England. From the coastal landscapes of Massachusetts to the woods, mountains and farmlands of New Hampshire and Vermont I have experienced the differences in nature, geography and light in these varied environments. Childhood interests in architecture and archaeology have led me to consider the context of time-worn structures within the New England landscapes. I am fascinated on many levels when coming across a barn or seaside cottage. From an artist’s perspective I am interested in the nature of the architecture, how it sits within its landscape, color and light. From a personal perspective, I find myself often curious about the story of the building: who built it and why; the many people who have lived or worked in the building; how the landscape may have changed around the structure over the course of years. I find that the curiosity I have about the building intertwines with the creative process in my interpretation of the architecture and landscape in one image. In some of my work I feel that the outcome is that the architecture serves as the sentry for the landscape and in other cases the opposite. Because I remove extraneous details from both the landscape and architecture I paint, it is my hope that a viewer will be challenged by the image to let their own curiosity create a story. I have long been influenced by the works of Andrew and Jamie Wyeth, Edward Hopper, and Winslow Homer for their approach to depicting the landscapes around them. And for color, I have loved the abandonment of “real” color found in the work of Wolf Kahn and Richard Diebenkorn…particularly their use of light and color to define subject and mood. I typically begin a piece with multiple sketches in either graphite or charcoal to work out the composition. Then I often transition to small pastel studies to experiment with palette. I use many layers of paint in my work to allow me to pull the undercolor to the surface and create depth and movement to highlight form and the way light defines a subject.

  • Bastille Day, oil painting , American Impressionism , SW Art Magazine 11/20/20
    By Judy Crowe
    Located in Houston, TX
    Bastille Day is an example of the Impressionist painters that the artist most admires for their vibrant use of color and their individual brushwork. As it did for the impressionists, everyday subjects inspire Judy Crowe such as Bastille Day in this oil painting.. She loves to use in her oil paintings,flowers, discovered objects and landscapes and appreciates the beauty of nature.In Bastille Day it’s quite a challenge to capture the feel of a time or place on canvas rather than a photo representation.

  • H.M. Saffer II, "Sunset Path", Pointillist Oil Painting Landscape on Canvas
    By H.M. Saffer II
    Located in Saratoga Springs, NY
    Colorful landscape painting "Water Images IV" 30x40 by artist H.M. Saffer II. Painted in the style of pointillism- a series of tiny painted brushstrokes, this oil landscape depicts a pathway lit by the setting sun. Sun rays of orange glow through a receding tree-line. Dramatic purple shadows are cast from the trees upon the deep orange pathway. A deep blue stream flows on the left side of the painting, alongside a grassy field of red and yellow poppies. About the artist: Born July 18, 1942 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, H.M. Saffer II launched his career by exhibiting his art at a public art show at the tender age of six. Upon graduation from Temple University in 1965, he traveled to Paris, France to enroll in graduate economics courses. Concurrently, HM's path took a different twist, as he soon leveraged his musical talent performing with notable French stars Hugues Aufray, Jacques Brel, Charles Aznavour, and many others. He was later hired by Barclay Records as a producer, and had several hit records in 1968 and 1969. During this period, he was also the chef / owner of two restaurants in Paris, and later a third located in Ibiza, Spain. Remarkably, as engaged as he was, HM never stopped painting and exhibiting his works. Several of his shows - sponsored by his restaurants and music associates - "sold out" and were favorably written up by the press. Before returning to the United States in 1970, he completed selected studies at L'Ecole Des Beaux Arts and exhibited in Paris and Brussels, Belgium. HM continued on with his music career in the United States at Warner Brothers Productions where he co-wrote the international hit song, "Look What They Done To My Song, Ma", recorded by Ray Charles, Melanie and other performers. While at Warner he painted a forty foot mural in their Madison Ave., NY headquarters and exhibited his works in the firm's lobby. In 1972 HM was hired by the dynamic songwriter/producer Bob Crewe...
