Here’s what Wikipedia has to say about: “Impressionism” !
Even as this new wave of outdoor painting and new depiction’s of nature and its interpersonal relationship with the elements as well as humans was birthing, Photography started to emerge as a breaking yet unknown art form. Rather than reject it because of tradition, artists both at its inception as well as today have continually challenged themselves to develop their own perception and interpretation to get it right, tell the story, produce truth and create great work .
Color and light applied to a canvas through manmade interpretation has caused many a heart to stop and see the truth that the artist has seen.
The works are portrayed with a captured allowance for feeling the day, the time, the environmental elements of the moment, the light and the shadows all in some assortment of vivid and or muted color. These works bring us to the intimacies and the simplicities of life. The energy of what the Creator has placed before the eyes of the painter must be transposed on the canvas to come alive with the painter’s personal vision. You’ll find examples of these throughout the site on pages like Landscape Oil Paintings.
Because so often the viewer can feel the color, the heat, the light, the shadow and much more these expressions have gained continual popularity and given hours and hours of overwhelming enjoyment.
Today we see many impressionist extensions of this challenging birth of light color and reflection, as well as the thousand s and thousands who chose to push the process further. Artists are always challenged by new ideas, new interpretations, and their own perceptions. These types of interpretive painttings today are routed in the basis of this methodology and reflect many of its goals and standards.
Look past the walls of first impressions. Push your own viewing boundaries. See color and light and the drama of shadow or the shape, tone or variation in the world around you. Reflect on the beauty of God's creation. Stop and take time to look closely at the things you pass daily. Find Impressionist Paintings that speak directly to you or let Paint-tings find you!
