Robert Meyers, "Old Barn", 18x24 Rural Country Landscape Oil Painting on Canvas

2019

About the Item

This piece, "Old Barn", is a 18x24 oil painting on canvas by artist Robert Meyers. Featured is a tranquil view into lush green fields in mid-summer. The rolling landscape of fields, pastures, and mountains lead the viewer back into the atmosphere of smoky blue mountains. A well-kept red barn structure stands with a silo contrasting against the surrounding pastures. Soft blue flowers are seen blossoming in the foreground. Clear, bright light meanders around the eaves and gables of this faded rural derelict, casting cool shadows on a warm day with light clouds rolling through the blue sky. About the artist: En plein air, a French term meaning “in open air,” refers to the practice of painting outside rather than in a studio. As a plein air painter, Rob Meyers depicts the landscape of New England with a keen eye for the influence of changing light on color. His paintings, as a result, are alive with movement and luminescence. Working throughout New England in all seasons, Meyers captures the essence of the region’s farms, shoreline, lakes, and towns with masterly economy. From Todds Point to Point Sebago, from mid-coast Maine to Cape Cod, he pursues his subjects with determined passion, an unerring sense of composition, and a highly developed sensitivity to color, producing works of art that no mere “reproduction” of the natural environment could ever achieve. Meyers worked as exhibition designer and master framer at the Yale Center for British Art, Yale University, for more than 15 years. He is a member of the Lyme Art Association.
