I purchased your painting Rice Fields from Novica. I absolutely love the colors and how unusual this artwork is from anything I can find in America. I am now saving up money to give it the museum quality framing it deserves. I appreciate you going the extra distance to write me a personal letter with your signature and your picture to ensure I can prove this is original. I'm very sad that hacks from other countries have no problem doing copies of artists such as yourself and trying to pass it off as original but as long as I have your letter and picture I will always know I have the real thing. This picture caught a lot of attention on the internet from art lovers as evidenced by Facebook profiles and Pininterest. You should be proud of your creation -- such a stunning piece of art! Take care and good luck to you in your career.. Thank you for going to such lengths for me. I really appreciated it, Mary.
Impressionism is about light and its effect as painters capture an instant on canvas. Patches of shimmering, luminous colors come together in a flickering patchwork; it is the eye that does the work.
As a science, optics made great strides in the last half of the 19th century, and its color laws influenced art. At the same time, some think that impressionism responded to the challenge of photography – painting had to be rescued from competition with the camera.
Subject matter became neutral and impartial as impressionist artists sought a scene’s potential for exploitation of color and light. Thus, landscapes were often painted directly from nature in plein air, or outdoor daylight. Flowing water and rustling leaves were especially popular themes.
Both the technique and the beautiful, evocative style live on in the 21st century. Novica artists like Det, Innop, M. Paiva and Pitak Thapan prefer a classic impressionist style, while Teodoro Reque Liza and Puntip Fooyat bring their own interpretation to the study of light.
