About the Item

The densely treed forest and gray boulders of Hennen's Wyatt Mountain, Virginia home are the subject for this highly detailed contemporary landscape painting in oil on panel set in summertime. The brown and gray tree trunks and delicate leaves in the background give way to glimmers of August sky through the verdant foliage, suggesting the quietude and serenity of nature in summertime, while two gray boulders in the foreground are covered in lush moss and surrounded by a bed of ferns on the forest floor. Signed, dated and titled on verso. Framed in a natural wood float frame, 12 x 12 inches (unframed), 12.75 x 12.75 inches (framed). Although the artist names his paintings after places, his complex compositions are usually composites of several location sketches and visual memory, not exact reproductions of a specific place. A naturalist as well as a life-long painter, Hennen has a close relationship with his environment. On his daily walks he fills sketchbooks chronicling the land, the effect of passing light and the seasonal changes. From these many field sketches, a final sketch is used as a guide for rendering a drawing with graphite onto the 3/4 inch wood panel for a painting. By building up tens of thousands of small brushstrokes, Hennen’s paintings are a complex collection of small marks gathered and made solid. The landscape paintings are at once astoundingly complex and perfectly calm. Hennen makes what can be described as ego-less paintings, perfectly crafted and stunningly beautiful; his paintings are a joy to experience.
