Stonehenge Vintage Mid Century Modern Style Impressionist Landscape Plein Air Oil Painting

$300.00

Stonehenge is one of my favorite ancient sites and it’s often the first place I visit once I land in Great Britain.

This plein air painting was very spontaneous. My pursuit to capture the spectacular light is visible in the brushwork. The result is an atmospheric plein air painting that showcases a level of skill and connection to the scene.

The carved frame is possibly vintage from Bali. This handmade frame has unique imperfections that are a natural result of the human touch and manual processes, adding character and authenticity. It is a magnificent choice for this landscape painting.

I spend a great deal of time to ensure the listing is accurate. Thus scans and photos in natural light are included. Please contact me if more photos or a video is required.

The Flemish Renaissance, Mughal portraiture, Impressionism, Classicism and Cubism are references for my work. Each painting unfolds from observation, and an intuitive narrative. However, the style itself is not a conscious choice in my practice; it is the result.

A painting seldom begins and ends on one panel. A vision begins in the representational form but the moment it shifts towards the abstract; I begin work on multiple substrates. The unpredictability of these in-between states are fully explored. The work spills organically and grows in any direction similar to the roots of a plant. Thus, most representational paintings become triptychs or diptychs containing an abstract companion piece. One aspect always underscores and engages the other with an ultimate aim to provide an overall indulgent reprieve from the rituals of daily life.

(The artist actively exhibits her paintings from Bergdorf Goodman, New York to the UK. Her work is collected internationally and she keeps studios in Canada, France, Japan and India.)
