ITEM DESCRIPTION:
This auction is for a gorgeous, ORIGINAL OIL by "The Oak Group" member artist, Thomas Van Stein. This Central California Group is well known for cutting edge and quality art. Please see artist Van Stein's website: www.thomasvanstein.net for more detail on him. I purchased this painting when I first came to Santa Barbara, CA in 1992. The artist himself has said that the background work is some of his best. It measures 24" by 17.5" and is in the original frame I purchased it in when it was first sold.
Van Stein is one of the members of the prestigious OAK GROUP painters of the Central Coast of California.
Painting landscapes is a way for me to attune to nature. When I am painting, I try to remain receptive towards the environment, to be still, and see how everything comes together. I want to slow my eye down, in order to identify, then paint in a harmonious way, all the various relationships I see. Once the painting process begins,I strive to get out of the way, so the painting can paint itself.
My goal is to get to the configuration of my subject; for me it is more important to paint what the subject "feels" like rather than what it looks like, and when I no longer know what to state or edit out, the painting is finished. I then say a prayer that the painting will take on a long life of its own.
