Joseph Sundwall
Decisions, Decisions, original 40x30 realist figurative landscape

About the Item

Today is the big day! All of the lessons, studying and practicing are coming to a crescendo! The only item left to do before the concert is to select the flowers to be presented on stage to our conductor. Tulips? Roses? Sunflowers? Lilies? Decisions, decisions! Selecting a mixed bouquet would certainly ensure that she would receive her favorite flowers! This realist figurative landscape is the portrait of a young girl seen in soft lighting, appropriate to her tender age, making what feels like the most important decision of her life! This original oil painting was envisioned and painted by noted artist Joseph Sundwall, a devotee of the teachings of Yale's Josef Albers' principals of minimalism and elegance in a work of art combined with the importance of negative space. Sundwall is known for his sensitivity in the works he produces, often using intermittent abstractions to fill the voids. Sundwall works are in private collections throughout the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and the European continent. From Chicago where he discovered art at a young age, he studied at the Kansas City Art Institute followed by both the famed Art Students League and National Academy of Design in NYC and, subsequently at the St. Oswald's Studios in London, England. Sundwall has selected a slightly distressed plein air frame to present this timeless fresh painting in; the work framed is 48x38x1.
