    By Cindy Shaoul

    An impressionistic depiction of people walking about near the Metropolitan Museum on a rainy day. A man walks quickly holding a briefcase, a group of woman huddled together under one umbrella; this painting goes back in time as the artist captures the style and trend of the early 20th Century with old cars parked in the distance and fashion of the people.

  • "Figures in the Village" British American Impressionist Oil Painting on Canvas
    By John Clymer
    Located in New York, NY
    A masterful oil painting depicting a countryside village scene with figures by British American artist John Clymer. As an Impressionist painter, he was known for his pastoral landscapes depicting scenes from daily life; notably provincial French towns. He also created numerous views of city life during his stays in Paris. This piece is an excellent example of the works produced during the 1950's with use of a rich color pallet and layers of paint giving this work such a stunning representation of country life. The way he uses flecks of light dashed onto the canvas creates a joy for the viewer to experience. This painting is signed by the artist lower right and it comes comes housed in a beautiful gold tone wood carved frame with linen liner and hanging wire on verso ready to be displayed. Art measures 12 x 16 inches Frame measures 17.5 x 21.5 inches John Clymer was born near Brighton, England in 1932. At a very early age, he exhibited definite artistic talents. His father immediately recognized his son's gift and enrolled him at the royal art academy. John was soon swept by the serenity and tranquility of the impressionists. His favorites ranged from Monet to Pissaro and Sisley; eventually leading to an awakening interest in the magnificent Turners at Tate galleries. Clymer's serene yet colorful canvasses ably depict his love for the southern english coastline. Demand for his canvasses is very high in the United States and the European continent while still relatively dormant in his home country.
