Nothing softens an entryway like a painted surface. The Silent Summer Sea by William Wendt arrives as a hand painted oil painting on canvas, offering the fine art detail, soft gradients, and tactile finish that fine art oil painting shoppers look for.
1915
Oil on canvas
40 1/2 x 50 1/2 in.
The essence and lucidity of Wendt's art in 1915 is fully present in his large-scale work The Silent Summer Sea. At forty by fifty inches, it is most likely a painting (like his Avalon Bay) that was preceded by outdoor sketches, then finished in the studio. The work has remarkable angularity, sharpness and vivid contrasts. The shore is warm, yellowish brown, almost wholly uninterrupted save for a few clumps of grayed green, set in front of a flat sea of blue. The ocean's horizon is pressed close to the top of the large canvas, allowing for the characteristic Pacific sky of pale green and violet. The water hardly moves, the surf is barely audible in the few small upswings of white paint. The stillness, distance, and overall quiet are all the hallmarks of Wendt's most personal expression: nature is where respite is. Open, vast, and serene, The Silent Summer Sea is an homage to natural grandeur, a sensual success in terms of sheer color, and an object lesson in what he felt painting should leave out.
Our artists reproduce this fine art composition in oil on canvas by hand, preserving the tonal range that makes fine art oil painting so sought after for an entryway.
Each canvas is painted entirely by hand with professional oil paints on artist-grade cotton canvas. No printing, giclée, or digital imaging is used at any stage, so the surface keeps the slight relief and color variation of real brushwork.
This fine art oil painting wall decor is equally at home in a residence, a boutique hotel, or a professional office. Its elegant character makes it a safe, distinctive gift for anyone furnishing an entryway.
