"Winter Evening", impressionist winter nocturne painting, red barn, new england

1980

About the Item

This is a very impactful Terelak. Wonderful winter scene with a red barn with Terelak's signature impressionist style. Brand new hand-made closed-corner Masterworks frame: Black and with 12k white gold liner. It glows! John Charles Terelak was born in Boston, MA in 1942. His football talent earned him collegiate scholarships that he turned down in favor of the arts. John decided to enter Vesper George School of Fine Art in 1960. John painted vigorously while at Vesper George, experimenting with several different mediums including pastel, watercolor and oil. As a standout student, he was awarded a position as a professor upon graduating and found great pleasure in teaching. In 1975, John founded the Gloucester Academy of Fine Arts, where his students consisted of college and art school graduates. John helped his students' polish their individual styles and advance in professional careers in fine arts. During the end of his tenure as owner/proprietor of The Gloucester Academy of Fine Arts, John constructed a private studio in Rockport, MA, close to his home, and it became his primary work location. Bored with reputation, John is always exploring new techniques, using different color combinations, varying composition, and adding transparent glazes to create the "soul and magic" of his works. Often working on several paintings simultaneously to avoid uniformity, "Every painting takes a life of its own as it develops and evolves taking the artist along for the ride." His technique is painting with dabs of color that mirror the light and hues of the particular setting. Many of John’s original oil paintings are included in public and private collections throughout the world, and exhibited in galleries in Massachusetts, California, Chicago, New York City, Florida, and Ohio. John currently resides in Rockport, MA

  • Winter Scene
    By Walter Launt Palmer
    Located in New York, NY
    In this prototypical oil painting, Walter Launt Palmer's title as "the painter of the American winter" can be vividly and brilliantly seen. As an impressionist painter that emerged at the turn of the 20th century, Palmer took great interest in the picturesque American landscape, though he particularly focused on the rendering of this landscape glistening with snow. His pictures evoke an unreplicable natural serenity, and in this oil painting "The Winter Scene...

  • Vermillion at Lee's Ferry ( Plein Air Landscape painting sky blue terracotta)
    By Jane Chapin
    Located in Cody, WY
    This 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...
