Under the Open Sky - Frank Tenney Johnson - Canvas Oil Painting suits both traditional and modern interiors. As a landscape oil painting, it works as a standalone focal point or as part of a gallery wall gallery wall, and unlike a print it is genuinely hand painted in oils.
1936
Oil on masonite
Private Collection, Santa Fe, New Mexico.
It was in the rocky canyons near Hayden, Colorado where Frank Tenney Johnson began to examine and master the effects of moonlight upon the Western landscape. Johnson's understanding and refined technique of nocturne painting would later become his trademark, making him one of America's leading Western painters. At a young age, Johnson was an apprentice to Frederick William Heine (1845-1921), whose talent in painting equestrians influenced Johnson's desire to master the anatomy of the horse. In 1935, while Johnson was living in Wyoming near the Shoshone River, he completed a painting for his friend in exchange for a Palomino horse named Tejon, who would frequently be used as his model.
Under the Open Sky is a perfect marriage of Johnson's abilities in capturing light and color under moonlight, the anatomy of the horse, and the classic portrayal of Western life.
The landscape subject is rebuilt stroke by stroke in oil, giving the finished canvas the depth expected of classic oil painting wall decor.
Expect subtle, hand-made variation rather than factory uniformity. Each landscape canvas is painted with oils, allowed to cure properly, and inspected before it is approved for shipment.
Wondering where landscape oil painting looks best? Try a gallery wall mantel, a dining room sideboard, or a hallway gallery wall. The landscape subject reads clearly from a distance and rewards close viewing up near.
