Maxfield Parrish - Winter

Winter

Everyone knows Maxfield Parrish for his ethereal, scenic garden and sunset paintings. Most have seen a fantastic blue-rose-gold sunrise and likened it to the work of Parrish--and rightfully so.

White Birches in the Snow (1952)


Village Church at Dusk (1941)

One of my illustration heroes, Parrish, although often panned by critics, is an icon in the art world. He called himself the painter of "girls on rocks" and while those are his most famous works, he was prolific in scenery and human studies (beyond girls in togas) as well.


Christmas Morning (1949)

The images in this post feature a handful of his lesser known gems.

Van Gogh + Tilt Shift

After seeing how tilt-shift photography could make real world scenes appear like miniature models, Serena Malyon, a third-year art student, decided to simulate the effect on Van Gogh's famous paintings. Using Photoshop, she manipulated the light and adjusted the focus to make us see these paintings in ways we could have never imagined.

Amazingly, nothing in these paintings was changed, added or removed. The incredible illusions are all created by the magic of Photoshop.

To view more examples of tilt-shift visit the Flickr group, Tilt-Shift Miniature Fakes - enjoy!

Hyperrealism is a genre of painting and sculpture resembling a high-resolution photograph. Hyperrealism is a fully fledged school of art and can be considered an advancement of Photorealism by the methods used to create the resulting paintings or sculptures. The term is primarily applied to an independent art movement and art style in the United States and Europe that has developed since the early 2000s.

Jeffrey Hull Gallery

One of our favorite places to visit along the Oregon Coast is the artist community of Cannon Beach. One of the most inspiring galleries we visit is that of Jeffrey Hull.





Jeffrey began his painting career over 30 years ago as a resident of the beautiful coastal art community of Cannon Beach, Oregon. Though primarily self taught, he did study under three Northwest Watercolorists in the early 70’s. Known for his ability to capture the beauty and moods of the places where water joins land, Jeffrey controls the difficult medium of watercolor, often in very large paintings.





He is rarely found far from the ocean’s edge, the source of his inspiration. His deep love for the area is clearly seen in his original paintings and prints. In 1987, after many years of displaying his artwork locally, Jeff and his wife Carol opened their own gallery in Sandpiper Square in downtown Cannon Beach.





His work is displayed in the form of Original Watercolors, Oils, and Giclée & Lithograph Prints. Jeffrey is a signature member of the prestigious American Society of Marine Artists.
