About the Item
This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online.
Ian Hargreaves' "Promise of Spring" is a breathtaking landscape that encapsulates the rejuvenating essence of the spring season. The canvas, a generous 80 x 120 cm, is dominated by a majestic mountain range whose peaks are still crowned with the remnants of winter's snow. The mountains are rendered in a series of textured brushstrokes, their blues and whites capturing the crispness of the alpine air.
In the foreground, a serene valley awakens to the early signs of spring. The varied greens of the grassy meadow are punctuated by the dark, rich tones of evergreen trees, suggesting the enduring life beneath the snow. A river meanders through the landscape, its surface reflecting the changing sky above, and a quaint wooden cabin hints at human presence, nestled unobtrusively within the expanse of nature.
The painting's title, "Promise of Spring," is embodied in the subtle warmth that permeates the scene. There is a sense of expectancy as the land transitions from the slumber of winter to the vitality of spring. This artwork is not just a visual feast; it is an invitation to witness the quiet unfolding of a new season, filled with hope and new beginnings.
Hargreaves' use of light is masterful, as he captures the luminosity of a spring morning, the kind that promises longer days and milder weather ahead. The detail with which the cabin and distant trees are painted adds a feeling of intimacy to the vastness, inviting the viewer to step into the landscape and share in the quiet joy of the season's change.
"Promise of Spring" is a testament to Hargreaves' skill in capturing the essence of a landscape and the mood of a season. It is a piece that would bring a breath of fresh air to any collection, inviting onlookers to pause and appreciate the perennial beauty of nature's rhythms.
The painting is signed by the artist and is presented as ready for display. It can be found for sale at Signet Contemporary Art in Chelsea and is also available for purchase online. This piece promises to be a conversation starter, offering a burst of creative energy to any space it inhabits.

Late 19th Century Landscape - "After The Snow"
By Constantin Aleksandrovich Westchiloff
Located in Soquel, CA
Gorgeous late 19th-century snowscape titled "After the Snow," by artist Constantin Alexandrovitch Westchiloff (1877-1945) Signed on the bottom right corner and titled on edge (the color differences in the signature letters are original to the painting prior to cleaning, and have not been modified or augmented). Unframed. Image size: 14.25"H x 20.25"W
Westchiloff is an American-Russian artist. He was born in Russia in 1877, and studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in St. Petersburg; as an artist, he traveled extensively in Europe and in the USA. He finally settled in New England, where he died in 1945.
He is probably best-known for seascapes (particularly of the New England coastline) but was also well regarded for his landscapes, portraits and figures, and genre subjects.
His work, especially after his travels in Europe and then in America, is closest to Impressionist in style. His favored medium was oil, which was well suited to his confident and strong technique. This, in turn, imbued his paintings of the rugged landscapes and seascapes of New England...
