BIOGRAPHY
Born in Waterford, Connecticut, Henry Pember Smith learned to paint without a teacher. He studied works of the Old Masters during his travels throughout Europe and acquired a reputation as an accomplished landscape painter fairly early in his career. While he visited Paris, Brittany, and Normandy in the 1880s, he also took an extended trip to Venice, and subsequently produced interesting works on subjects he had encountered there. Like many of his pieces portraying aspects of the European cities he had visited, Smith’s pictures of Venice often reveal an impressionistic fascination with light and water; images of the muted red brick buildings and campaniles are enveloped in the soft glow of a sunset.
In the United States, Smith painted numerous views of the New England landscape, particularly those of Cape Ann, Rhode Island, and New Jersey, and exhibited these regularly at the National Academy of Design in New York. Though little is known about the artist’s career prior to 1877, after which time he maintained studios in Manhattan at 11th, 171th, and West 14th Street. Adopting a method of interpretation similar to his artistic contemporaries, Smith deliberately chose to paint idealized depictions of his own rural landscape in order to satisfy the urban taste for this kind of imagery. Nevertheless, Smith may still be considered one of the foremost American realist painters of his time due to his detailed representations of country cottages and seascapes. He was a member of the American Watercolor Society as well as the Artists’ Fund Society.

- Vermillion at Lee's Ferry ( Plein Air Landscape painting sky blue terracotta)By Jane ChapinLocated in Cody, WYThis is a 'Plein Air" landscape Painting by Jane Chapin as seen in the viewing room exhibition on Silas VON MORISSE GALLERY. “Plein-Air” is the French expression to describe the act of painting in situ within the landscape, capturing the ever changing weather and light with tonal qualities, colour, loose brushwork and softness of form... The practice of “Plein Air Painting” goes back for centuries but was truly made into an art form by the French Impressionists such as Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, Alfred Sisley, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir who were advocating of plein air painting. Much of their work was done outdoors in the diffuse light of a large white umbrella. Another major proponent of Plein Air was Jean Baptiste Camille Corot whom Claude Monet considered as “The only One Master here”. Corot provides a transition from the sharp academic style that ruled in his day with focus on the natural world and the lyrical expressiveness of one's work. With her "Plein Air Paintings", Jane Chapin is part of one of the largest art movements in history. Her paintings carry human emotions. We can read her moods and feelings with places that carry deep remembrances for the artist that go beyond the descriptive. "My paintings grow from observing and interpretating light as it emerges from, surrounds and reflects on everyday people and scenes. They seek to remind us of the beauty of our common surroundings, regardless of where we are." - Jane Chapin Jane Chapin Painting the Land of the Free...Category
