Private estate, San Francisco, California.
Granville Redmond is justifiably famous for his classic depictions of the California landscape and his spectacular paintings of wildflowers are historically among the most desirable works by a plein-air painter in California. While these works are often situated on rolling hills, High Desert in Bloom instead explores contrasting textures to create depth of field. Utilizing a number of distinct horizontal planes Redmond uses texture to push his viewers' eyes to the horizon. This example is flat along the bottom and top edges with a fairly smooth surface. Redmond saves his dramatic impasto for the mid-ground and along the snow-capped peaks at the horizon line. The eye is pushed toward the horizon this complex construction of surface and color and only after one digests the depth of field can the subtleties of the composition be appreciated - for example the splashes of light gray (reflecting the colors in the clouds) mixed in with the flowers and greenery. The clouds are composed of largely rounded forms with prominent areas of impasto stroked on the diagonal. High Desert in Bloom showcases a painter at the height of his powers: desert flowers are washes of yellow and orange against a varied green ground and the heavy white and gray clouds above remind the viewer of the drenching that facilitated a glimpse of nature's vibrant palette.
The fine art subject is rebuilt stroke by stroke in oil, giving the finished canvas the depth expected of vintage oil painting wall decor.
From primer to varnish, the work is done manually on artist-grade canvas. The absence of digital printing is deliberate: it keeps the fine art brushwork visible and gives the vintage oil painting wall decor a museum-like finish.
As entryway wall decor, this canvas brings color and texture without visual noise. It scales well from a small study to a large entryway feature wall, and it is a reliable choice when shopping for fine art oil painting as a gift.
