About the Item

Beautifully executed original oil on canvas painting by the well known Canadian artist, Danielle Richard. Signed by the artist lower left. Condition is excellent. Titled “Summer Idyll”. Provenance: A Long Island, New York collector. ARTIST STATEMENT My work demonstrates a quest for beauty, its guiding principle. It reflects moments of silence and peace inspired by life away from tumult. I often paint “the eternal feminine” that I know inside, the one that best displays the emotions I favor. The mediums used are pastels, acrylics and oil paint. My work follows the Realist movement and aims to be optimistic, poetic and timeless.
