Jules Herve Paintings

French, 1887-1981
Jules Hervé was born in Paris in 1837, a period marked by significant changes in French society and culture. His early life remains somewhat obscure, but it is known that he began his artistic education at a young age. Hervé entered the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, one of the leading institutions for fine arts training in France. As the Impressionist movement began to gain momentum in the 1860s and 1870s, Hervé became more attuned to the interplay of light and color, shifting his focus toward capturing fleeting moments and atmospheric effects. He also experimented with freer brushwork and a lighter, airier palette. A key characteristic of Hervé’s mature style is his masterful use of light. His paintings often feature soft, diffused light that evokes a sense of calm and serenity. Whether depicting the hustle and bustle of urban life or the tranquility of rural scenes, his ability to capture the nuances of light set him apart from many of his contemporaries. Herve focussed on the bustling streets of the city, using light and color to suggest movement and the transient nature of modern life. Jules Hervé was deeply connected to the artistic circles of Paris, exhibiting at the Salon and engaging with other artists of the time. His participation in the broader conversation about art and his development of a personal style helped to shape the direction of 19th-century painting, particularly in terms of how light could be used to express deeper emotional and psychological states.

By Bethanne Kinsella Cople

Located in Atlanta, GA

The American landscape – endless skies, calming waters and the varied shores of the East and West coasts - are Cople’s passion and she travels far and wide to capture her subjects. “I love painting the landscape en plein air. In the outdoors, exposed to the sun, wind and rain, you can incorporate not only what you see, but also the sounds and the smells of the landscape. All of this lets me convey the sense of wonder I feel at the subject,” says Cople. Undeterred by nature’s extremes, Cople has painted in blizzards in the Wasatch Mountains...

Tricks - Original Oil Painting, Anthropomorphic Scene with Cat and Seagull

By Wendy Vaughan

Located in Chicago, IL

In this fantastical painting animals reign supreme. An enrobed cat observes/directs as a seagull deftly flies through a suspended hoop. Wendy Vaughan seems to infuse her artwork with mystical powers. Backgrounds are layered with symbols and clothing vibrates with magical floating shapes. Her choice of colors are punched up to a level of saturation as to make her work seem otherworldly. Prominent colors in this painting are bright blues in the water, soft oranges in the cat's fur, and purple, gold and pink in the cat's garment. This artwork is framed in dark wood with painted gold inset.
