Dale Payson
Vase Still Life with Pink Apple (Modern Impressionist Still Life Oil Painting)

2017

About the Item

oil painting on canvas 20 x 20 inches unframed This modern impressionistic still life painting was made by Hudson Valley based artist, Dale Payson, in 2017. Here the artist paints a square still life with a vase, two cups and a pink apple with a palette of neutral beige, cream, ivory, warm sienna, and blue. Gestural, impressionist layers of paint are applied to the canvas with a palette knife, creating a slightly impasto, textured effect. The artist's signature is located in the lower right corner. More about Dale Payson and her work: Dale Payson’s still lifes are larger than life—she literally paints fruit and flowers larger than they are in real life. By subtly flattening perspective, she brings the background forward to create a powerful statement. Her use of color is unbridled, bold and refreshing. Payson studied extensively at the School of Visual Arts in New York and eventually taught at this prestigious institution. Before painting became her sole ambition, she was a freelance book illustrator and has more than 25 books to her credit. Dale Payson also studied under Robert Kulick, one of the most innovative and influential picture frame designers in the United States. She was most impressed with his small still lifes that would showcase his frames and were displayed regularly- a single pear, flowers, dollar bills. Payson continues to consider him as one of her greatest influences. After a 16 year stint of living in Manhattan, Payson moved to Columbia County and eventually had a small studio built across from her house. Without the cacophony of city life to distract her, Payson plunged into painting the beauty that surrounded her country home. Flowers, fruits, cows and houses became her new comforts, as well as the subjects of her paintings. Having experimented with watercolors, pastel and even hooking rugs, Dale Payson eventually settled on the palette knife as her preferred tool and oil as her chosen medium. She manipulates the knife, creating texture and layering that allow her vibrant, yet whimsical colors to dance on linen. Twenty years ago, you would have discovered an entirely different body of work by Dale Payson at Frank Peseckis’ Five Points Gallery located in Old Chatham, NY. In those days, Payson explored trompe l’oeil as her genre; a technique focusing on a kind of realism so lifelike that an optical illusion becomes part of the viewer’s experience. One subject she returned to was the frame of a larder, well stocked with freshly hunted game. When fruit and flowers entered her sphere of influence, she continued to pursue exactness with the palette knife – bold colors and realistic images dominated the space. Recently, however, her work has taken on a more ethereal quality. Flowers and pears live in the environment and become the subject of their own gravity. Dale Payson claims that a recent abstract painting workshop with Jenny Nelson, who also exhibits with Carrie Haddad Gallery, has expanded her interest in this kind of personal expression. While she continues to paint from still lifes, it appears that now she is more able to interpret it. Dale has won numerous awards from many shows and exhibitions, among them the Greenwich Art Society and the renowned Salmagundi Club in New York. Her work hangs in many corporate and museum collections including Nabisco Foods, Dunkin Donuts and the University of Minnesota’s Kerlan Collection. After showing her paintings for many years, Carrie Haddad Gallery is most pleased to exhibit this latest body of work that demonstrates a whole new dynamic of Payson’s personal expression.

    Vase in the Window (Impressionist Floral Still Life of Magenta Pink Peony Flowers in a Vase Against an Off-White Window Scene) by David Konigsberg oil on panel 50 x 36 x 1.5 inches no frame required - painting is wired on reverse for easy installation Signed by the artist, verso This painting is an exquisite example of the artist's unique ability to capture the very whimsical side of nature. Widely known for painting expansive views of the Hudson Valley where the artist often embarks on extensive hiking trails, Konigsberg also takes to painting more intimate and commonplace household objects. A coffee pot, salt and pepper shaker, or as in this case, a simple bouquet of long stemmed pink peonies careening over the side of a green vase; his use of oil washes capture both fluidity and structure. The fanciful treatment of the flowers calls to mind French Impressionist Toulouse Latrec...

  • Peach Lilies (Contemporary Still Life of Vibrant Tiger Lilies, Oil on canvas)
    By Dan Rupe
    Located in Hudson, NY
    Peach Lilies (Contemporary Still Life of Vibrant Tiger Lilies, Oil on canvas) by Dan Rupe 22 x 22 inches oil on linen canvas Signed on reverse Artist Dan Rupe paints only from life, his composition ruled by his intuitive sense of formal order. He begins covering his canvas with a deep crimson wash. This ground gives his brilliant pure color , applied with an expressive, direct gesture, an electric charge. No matter how often or how long one looks at a Rupe painting, it is always the present tense. The tone of his palette, the freshness and clarity of primary colors, reflects an optimistic attitude, an intrinsic love of life. In this work, three vibrant peach colored lilies open their blooms amidst bright green grasses. Rupe succeeds at capturing the immediacy of his subjects be it flowers, buildings or people. Read below for an amusing profile written about the artist in 2003: You‘ve likely seen him on the streets of Hudson, seated before his canvas in a multi-colored paint daubed t-shirt and shorts, his straw hat providing shade for all but his tanned forearms and knees. His splattered Technicolor Walkman tape player...
