Robert Meyers, "Snake Hill", 24x24 Saratoga Summer Lake Sailboat Oil Painting

2018

About the Item

This piece, "Snake Hill", is a 24x24 oil painting on canvas by artist Robert Meyers. Featured is a sunny view over Saratoga Lake in Saratoga Springs, New York. Small white sailboats bob around the bay while green mountains of Snake Hill looms from behind, reflected in the lake below. Shy blue skies peek through rolling clouds moving swift and silently through the sky. The artist uses thick impressionistic brushstrokes which give a lively energy to the painting. 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.
