About the Item
Leigh Ann Van Fossan’s “Sundance Upon the Sea,” 2023, is an oil on canvas measuring 16 x 20 in (40.64 x 50.80 cm) unframed and ready to hang. In this atmospheric seascape, Van Fossan harnesses a glowing palette of buttery yellows, rose-lavenders, and cool sea-greens to evoke that fleeting moment when the sun hovers just above the horizon. Thick, expressive impasto around the sun dissolves into feather-soft scumbles of cloud and water, guiding the eye downward to a mirrored path of light that dances across the still surface. At the right, a quiet line of sailboats in near-silhouette offers a sense of scale and calm, suggesting a harbor settling into evening.
The work exemplifies Van Fossan’s mastery of tonal balance and brush economy: broad palette-knife strokes capture sky and sea in single gestures, while finer marks define rigging and hulls. Subtle shifts from warm ochre to cool turquoise create depth without relying on strict realism, allowing mood to take precedence over detail. Collectors seeking contemporary impressions of the sublime will appreciate how this painting blends Romantic-era drama with modern looseness, making it equally at home in coastal interiors or sophisticated urban spaces. As the piece is unframed, it can be installed immediately or customized to suit your décor.

Leigh Ann Van Fossan
Leigh Ann Van Fossan (b. 1984) specializes in impressionistic landscape paintings that offer viewers moments of joy and calm amid life's chaos. The Colorado native began oil painting at 12 and formally studied in Boulder and Florence, Italy before taking a decade-long pause from painting. Returning to her practice in 2014 with renewed purpose, Van Fossan creates works ranging from miniatures to extra-large canvases, primarily in oils but also in acrylics and watercolor. Her artistic focus stems from time spent in nature, which she translates into compositions that capture fleeting light and atmospheric qualities. Beyond painting, Van Fossan has authored the novel "Painting Blue Water" (2018) and illustrated children's books, including her own "STUBBORN SAWYER" (2024). Represented by select galleries across the United States including Abend Gallery, her work has attracted collectors globally since her 2014 Art Voices Magazine cover feature.

The Via Flaminia, a Sunday morning," 1869,
with frame 160 x 83 cm. Signed P. Joris,
Pio Joris attended the Istituto di Belle Arti in Rome and in 1861 he enrolled at the Accademia di San Luca, where he remained for just a year. On a visit to the 1st Esposizione Nazionale di Belle Arti of Florence in 1861 he was attracted by the naturalistic works from the Naples school. He came into contact with Domenico Morelli and Filippo Palizzi during a trip to Capri, Sorrento and Naples in 1866. In Rome, he kept company with Mariano Fortuny, whose painting, with its pleasant, captivating luministic effects, made a very strong impression on Joris. That was how he developed his own very personal artistic language, which went on to bring him remarkable commercial success on an international scale, helped by his collaboration with Paris art dealer...
