This is another painting I am offering for sale right now. I was going to keep this on my private collection, but I am getting short in wall space. I usually tend to add paintings on my collection when I introduce a new series. I like to keep one painting of each series.
Although the style is very different, this painting reminds me of Matisse's females. It is all about the elongated swan neck.

Original oil Painting Contemporary art Impressionism American Landscape Autumn Landscape. Skyscape. Impasto painting.
This is one of my favorite paintings on the 6x6 series. The texture is just fabulous.The paintings on this series , Blue Ridge Abstract Original Landscape Paintings , was painted with Gamblin oil paints. I like Gamblin paints. I won't buy the tin cans anymore -- I am careless leaving the paint buckets opened sometimes. The oil paint dries and become brittle and hard to work with. That is a good way to throw money down the drain. These paints are expensive. I usually do an under paint with Golden Acrylics. I find that working on a prepared surface enhance the colors and gives depth to the painting.
If you look carefully, you are able to see the under paint on the picture below. Usually I paint the sides of the canvas with acrylic too.

Painting is not framed.
borgesart text is not part of the original painting
This is an example of the painting framed. This frame is called "plein air landscape", or something like this. I buy my frames at picture frames.
There you are able to purchase the whole package and frame the painting youself. Saving money is a good thing.
I put the gold frame on this painting because this seems to be a popular preference, but this is a modern painting that can go with modern or classic frame. It is only a matter of preference.

"In the first instance, colour influences our souls".
By Russian abstract Painter Wassily Wassily Kandinsky (1886-1944)
Today is a gray day ( weatherwise) here in my neck of the woods and today is 9-11.
I usually don't like to paint on gray days, so I am giving my studio a much needed good cleaning.
Before starting out with my plein air group affair today, I reflect about the works of Monet and other Impressionist painters. The past exhibition Monet in Normandy comes to mind.
Monet in Normandy was organized by the North Carolina Museum of Art, the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, and the Cleveland Museum of Art.
About the Exhibition:
The exhibition was organized geographically, beginning with Monet’s earliest depictions of the resort town Sainte-Adresse, located on the Norman coast overlooking the English Channel. The exhibition also included increasingly abstract, atmospheric descriptions of sea and sky painted from the town of Fécamp; views of the cliffs of Pourville; and several paintings of the fishermen’s tiny church at Varengeville. Monet’s views of the famous rock formations of Étretat are featured in the exhibition.
This was first exhibition to deal with the region of France in which Monet spent most of his life and created the majority of his paintings. Although born in Paris, Monet moved with his parents to Normandy as a small child. His earliest pictorial experiments were made here and his enduring artistic relationship with Normandy--its dramatic coastline, commercial port cities, picturesque villages, countryside and river-- has never been the focus of a scholarly exhibition. As well as the works painted along the northern coast in the 1860s through 1880s, the exhibition also presented Monet's mythic field and village paintings done at Giverny and his Rouen Cathedral series. This exhibition was great and enhanced my knowldedge and understanding of the artist, encompassing the fullness and complexity of Monet's image of Normandy.
When attending an exhibition of this quality, one comes out inspired and rejuvenated. For those who missed the opportunity to attend this exhibition in person, Amazon offers Monet in Normandy --the next best thing to being in the museum and experiencing Monet paintings in person. It is a hight quality coffee table book for painters, art history and impressionist fans.
Description:
This book gives an extraordinary new look at the world's most beloved Impressionist, it examines some of the artist's most important paintings, including the famed Giverny canvases, the iconic haystacks, and the Rouen cathedral series. Many rarely seen works are also featured and illustrate Monet's enduring ties to the Norman region. It was in Normandy that Monet began his painting career, and it was there that he met his first great mentor, Eugène Boudin. Monet developed a deep affection for the region. He would return time after time to depict its dramatic coastline, picturesque villages, and seaside resorts. Normandy has been a source of inspiration for artists over the centuries, and the catalogue puts Monet's work in context with those who came before—Corot, Millet, Courbet, Whistler, and Boudin—and his fellow revolutionaries—Morisot, Pissarro, Renoir, Degas.Featuring more than sixty master works, Monet in Normandy marks one of the largest Impressionist exhibitions to be on view in the United States. Illuminating the essays are works by other great contemporaries such as Pissarro, Morisot, and Degas. This book is a must have, if you love Monet .

Another excellent coffee table book in the same genre is Monet on the Normandy Coast, Tourism and Painting 1867 - 1886, by Robert L. Herbert.
