“Softly, Over the Hills” is a lyrical artpiece. It’s a place imagined where I am looking out at what I’d call a gentle drama in a landscape. I kept thinking of the Bach concerto, “Where sheep may safely graze” so I added in a flock of sheep on the left.
This excerpt from the poem Summer Afternoon also fits nicely.
In brightly-dim obscurity appear
The distant hills which skirt the landscape gay;
While restless fancy fancy owns the unnerving sway
In visions often changed, but nothing clear.
— Thomas Doubleday
I used impasto and cold wax medium in this painting, so there’s a fair bit of textural difference between the thin background and the impasto greens and deep teal blues and golden yellow in the foreground.
This piece is priced unframed, but I will frame to suit for added cost.
This original artwork is signed, comes with a certificate of authenticity and is expertly packed.
Shipping is free in the continental US, all other shipping will be invoiced separately with actual shipping charge.
