Summer Solstice
8” x 10”
This outing with the All-Weather Gang on Prentice Road in LeRoy was a celebration of seasons. The tender corn plants provide interesting patterns agains the shadows of the trees.
"Summer Solstice" is framed in a Taos gray wooden frame with an understated grey/green rubbed finish with a warm reddish umber undertone. It has a Whistler style rich antique gold leaf inner lip with a soft rounded outer edge. The outside frame is a one piece routed panel so absolutely no separation at the corners. The frame is a 3 1/2" molding, so in the frame it presents as 14 1/2" tall by 16 1/2" wide. It's framed as shown, ready to hang, with felt pads to protect the wall. The canvas panel is a Raymar 56MC Medium Cotton, a professional grade double acrylic primed, 100% pure cotton duck canvas with a medium weave with uniform texture. This is my favorite painting surface because the absorbent canvas grabs the paint for an opaque effect yet keeps your brushstroke visible to create textured landscape. It particularly suits my technique of underpainting warm compliments in oil washes, which enhance the "real" color in the final painting. The archival 1/8" MDF has no added oils and the back of the board is sealed with gray melamine to prevent warping and deterioration for a clean finish. The paint is Winsor & Newton professional oil colors which are permanent. The painting is varnished and will last for hundreds of years.
