Stillness

ABOUT THE COLLECTION HUNT COUNTRY OILS Lydia's love of oils was born in the study of masters — Willard Metcalf, John Singer Sargent — and that foundation is glimpsed the restraint and the texture of this piece. One of a limited number of oil paintings in her portfolio, this large-scale canvas captures the swath of land near the Bunny Mellon Estate in the early dawn light, executed in a limited palette that allows the soft haze of the Virginia countryside to speak entirely for itself. The stillness captures the viewer and commands the room. This piece is an invitation to pause, here, and consider. Here in the world that screams ahead at a pace that we lose our breath to; here, may you catch your breath and find peace in the stillness and subtly.  These pieces are sold exclusively as originals and will not be reproduced. It's truly a one of a kind. ORIGINAL ARTWORK: Each original painting has been painted on stretched canvas with variety of high quality pigments that show off the brilliant color of each location. The final painting has been varnished to illuminate the colors of the pigment. SIZING 48" W x 36" H x 2"D  SHIPPING Please note: the shipping for this piece.
