Looking for portrait oil painting with real brushwork? Two Boys in a Boat is reproduced by hand in oils on artist-grade canvas after Frank Weston Benson. The result is a piece of timeless oil painting wall decor that anchors an entryway and rewards a closer look.
This painting was done in 1904, about the same time as Benson’s famous Calm Morning, now at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. While Calm Morning is a finely finished painting of George and his sisters, Elisabeth and Eleanor, Two Boys in a Boat looks as though it was completed in an hour. That was about as long as George could sit still. In order to finish Calm Morning, Benson had to complete two studies – one of Eleanor and Elisabeth in the stern of the boat and another of George in the bow. After that, George was excused from his modeling chores.
Our artists reproduce this figurative composition in oil on canvas by hand, preserving the tonal range that makes portrait oil painting so sought after for an entryway.
This is a genuine hand painted oil painting, not a canvas print. Our painters match the palette of Two Boys in a Boat by eye and build up the figurative forms in thin layers, which is what gives the finished portrait oil painting its luminosity.
Hang this portrait oil painting above a sofa, console, or bed to give an entryway an instant focal point. Its timeless palette works with both minimalist and period interiors, and the piece also makes a considered gift for housewarmings, weddings, and art lovers.
In short: Two Boys in a Boat - Frank Weston Benson - Oil Painting combines a timeless composition, a 100% hand painted oil painting process, and the flexibility of made-to-order canvas sizes — a dependable choice for portrait oil painting and entryway wall decor.
