DESCRIPTION: This item is a signed oil painting on 1/4 inch masonite board mounted on 1" frame members with black painted edges...NO NEED for FRAME. It can be hung as-is and comes with hanging hardware installed. It measures 24x48. The most accurate color pic on this is the one that shows the whole painting. I think it would look particularly nice in one of my black frames ...or a quarter-sawn oak frame in a mission or arts & crafts style and also an impressionist gold leafed frame. It is finished with a cleanable varnish for protection. It has some thick paint and very expressive brush work as all expressive impressionistic realism should. You can see some of my technique on the YouTube video links ...and possibly more info. about this painting on the blog link below.
TITLE: Desde El Alba Hasta...
STYLE: I paint a lot...and often, almost every day. I make paintings from memory, photo references and from life...outdoor painting "en plein air" as they say. No matter what I paint I'm after the essence of the scene...the impression of the feeling / sense you get from the view of the land or figure or whatever. It is though, the relationship between shapes and color that most interest me. You'll not find a lot of highly rendered detail in my paintings. I do believe in good drawing and a disciplined approach to art though and don't recommend going at it willy nilly... no matter how abstract the work might be. I call my style Modern Impressionistic Expressionism and a touch of post modern embellishment with a slight neo-classical flourish and a hint representational realism thrown in for good measure.
VALUE: Retail / gallery value on this painting would be $3400. (I don't like eBay fluff so I wouldn't say this if it weren't true. I've sold quite a number of big ol' paintings at retail prices in nice, swanky, high-end galleries over the years...(and still do under a secret nom de plum).

I use archival quality paints and substrates and finish all paintings with a quality varnish for protection and cleanability. I paint on standard size canvas panels so the frame you need to fit your painting will be easy to find.

"Mr. Hawkins - A friend and I were just at the south rim of the Grand Canyon and had the opportunity to see your painting at the Kolb studio - we didn't know you had one there. We walked in to view the paintings, spied one that looked like it was one of yours and were so pleased to see that we were right. It was great to see your work on display! congratulations! Cindy"
