William Winthrop Ward Landscape Paintings

1901-1985

William Winthrop Ward was born in Walsall near London, England, on June 12, 1901. Ward immigrated to Boston in 1916 and spent much of his youth boating off the coast of Massachusetts. After a stint with the U.S. Marines, Ward came to California in 1927. He began painting while tending the Point Lobos Lighthouse on the coast at San Francisco. His work came to the attention of local artist Heliodor Hammarstrom, who tended the windmills in the Golden Gate Park, San Francisco. Hammarstrom encouraged Ward and introduced him to George Demont Otis, who taught him for several years. Ward was also a pupil of portraitist Thomas Leighton. In 1940, Ward moved down the peninsula to Mountain View to work for NASA. Working with oil, watercolor, and pastel, he created colorful wharf scenes, marines, and landscapes. His works were exhibited at the Oakland Art Gallery in California (1939–41), the Stevens Hotel in Chicago (1941), the Society for Sanity in Art in Chicago and the California Palace of the Legion of Honor in San Francisco (1942–44), Palo Alto City Library in California (1953), the Los Altos Art Association, the Palo Alto Art Club and the Southwest Art Association.

Coming In & Going Out ( Plein Air Landscape painting green yellow colors)
By Jane Chapin
Located in Cody, WY
This is a 'Plein Air" landscape Painting by Jane Chapin as seen in the viewing room exhibition on Silas VON MORISSE GALLERY. “Plein-Air” is the French expression to describe the act of painting in situ within the landscape, capturing the ever changing weather and light with tonal qualities, colour, loose brushwork and softness of form... The practice of “Plein Air Painting” goes back for centuries but was truly made into an art form by the French Impressionists such as Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, Alfred Sisley, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir who were advocating of plein air painting. Much of their work was done outdoors in the diffuse light of a large white umbrella. Another major proponent of Plein Air was Jean Baptiste Camille Corot whom Claude Monet considered as “The only One Master here”. Corot provides a transition from the sharp academic style that ruled in his day with focus on the natural world and the lyrical expressiveness of one's work. With her "Plein Air Paintings", Jane Chapin is part of one of the largest art movements in history. Her paintings carry human emotions. We can read her moods and feelings with places that carry deep remembrances for the artist that go beyond the descriptive. "My paintings grow from observing and interpretating light as it emerges from, surrounds and reflects on everyday people and scenes. They seek to remind us of the beauty of our common surroundings, regardless of where we are." - Jane Chapin Jane Chapin Painting the Land of the Free...
