Autumn evening on the Loire river - Anne Baudequin

Autumn evening on the Loire river by Anne Baudequin Painting 36.2 x 23.6 :: Auvergne landscape France. In the bright light of an autumn day the Loire reveals itself wild and full of energy. The challenge was to capture the elusive: the running water and the light shimmering on its surface. The solution lies not in imitation but in incarnation. Here the stroke of pure white thick and in relief is not an image of the foam; it is the flash of light. The swift brushstroke that streaks the surface is not a description of the current; it is movement itself the trace of the gesture becoming the trace of the water. All the canvas's kinetic energy is concentrated in this liquid turmoil in the foreground. As a counterpoint the riverbank and the hills rendered in broader calmer strokes offer a serene setting for this vibrant riot of movement. The white finish on the sides of the canvas allows it to be hung without a frame should you wish. :: Type: Painting Medium: Oil Style: Impressionist Subject: Landscape Width: 36.2 Height: 23.6 Depth: 0.8 Weight: 3.3 lbs Framed: no :: All art on Zatista is original and signed.
