Some paintings for my next show

You may have seen a couple of these before.  These will be included in my upcoming show at the Hoyt Institute of Fine Arts in New Castle, PA along with roughly 30 other pieces (all landscapes), which were done either plein air or from plein air studies.  The show runs from August 2nd to September 24th , 2011. The opening is on August 7th from 2 -4 pm in the Blair Walkway Gallery. 

Adolf Hiremy-Hirschl

I had to post this painting because I think it is just wonderful :

"Die Seelen des Acheron" 

Souls on the Banks of the Acheron

The artist is Adolf Hiremy-Hirschl, a Hungarian born artist who lived from 1860 to 1933. Everything about this painting, from the color, to the drawing, to the movement, lines, and values and the way these elements come together to build the design is really fantastic.  Every figure is drawn so well, with such sensitivity to the gesture.  This is an amazing work. Enjoy!
