Steve Parker
Spring in Weimer Texas Hill Country Bluebonnets, Oil Texas Landscape 18" x 24"

2024

About the Item

Spring in Weimer is painted from a plein aire study from a day in Weimar, Texas. This was painted in the spring when the bluebonnets are beginning to bloom. It is common for people to take weekend drives to these small towns to see the bluebonnets and eat at the small cafes. Weimar is a city in Colorado County, Texas, United States. The population was 2,076 at the 2020 census. In 1873 the town was founded in anticipation that the Galveston, Harrisburg, & San Antonio Railroad was going to build through the site. Steve Parker conveys his understanding of Texas landscapes and the use of native trees and flowers It is common for people to take weekend drives to these small towns to see the bluebonnets and eat at the small cafes. Spring in Weimer by Steve Parker shows the rolling hills and the clouds that roll in later in the day . In the early evening the clouds turn dark and thunderstorms roll in the area. Many cattle gather under the trees to take a break from the Texas heat and go to a nearby pond. Steve Parker's landscapes depict Brenham, Chapel Hill, Fredericksburg, Washington County and Lake Livingston. There is a feeling of recognition, of the familiar and yet of the elusive Texas landscape. The visual space of the painting entices one to imagine the changing light and atmosphere on a Texas pond or a sudden mysterious ray of light across a clearing in East Texas. By looking inward, Parker has created a view which Texas nature is constantly changing. Steve Parker's paintings have enough definition to become recognizable while retaining a loose painterly quality. The painting always bring the viewer back to Texas. Steve has been an Instructor at the Art League of Houston for over 30 years.

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...
