John Harris
"Boulder Brook, " Impressionistic Landscape Oil Painting

2021

About the Item

This original painting by John Harris captures a close up view of river rocks beneath lightly-rippling water in a horizontal format. The water reflects lightly off the moving water, adding an abstracted element to the piece. The painting measures 13" x 36", and 14.25" x 37.25" framed. It is framed in a silver floater frame, and is wired and ready to hang. Of his work, Connecticut-based artist, John Harris says, "I isolate and exaggerate forms, colors and sequences found in nature. My large scale, realist paintings take one to two months to complete, as I meticulously works to recreate various environmental complexities from photographs, memory and artistic expression. The process begins with mapping out large shapes of color on canvas, and then details are added. When the paint dries, more paint and glazes are added. The repetition of this careful glazing technique results in the dramatization of translucent layers - a visual effect that is conceptually harmonious with its subject: water. "I am most interested in exploring water’s physical properties - reflection, turbidity, rhythm, pattern, that make up its unique viewing experience. I address these issues by isolating a moment in time in various bodies of water: oceans and rivers. The result is a series of peaceful, hypnotic and turbulent paintings."
