Giverny (New Large Abstract Landscape in OIl)
Giverny, oil painting by Polly Castor Giverny (oil) by Polly Castor

I have never been to Giverny, but I’ve spent my life taking photos of water like this, as you long time blog readers well know. These water vignettes are so abstract and lovely to me. The colors remind me of Monet, and I thought the title might help people know what they are looking at, although to me it is quite obvious.

This is 28″x36,” painted in oil; and it took a month of work. This textural, intricate surface was achieved in many overlapping layers, each risking ruining the layer below. See the entire work above and close-up details below.

Purchase the original painting here.

Or obtain prints and merchandise of this image here. (It would make a great puzzle don’t you think? How about a shower curtain, phone case, or print on metal?)

I am pretty pleased with it, since after all that work, it did come out as I envisioned.

What do you think?

 

 

 

I work to amplify good wherever I find it. I love color, texture, beauty, great ideas, nature, metaphor, deliciousness, genuine spirituality, and exploring new territory. I encourage authenticity, nurture creativity, champion sustainability, promote peace, and hope to foster a new renaissance where we all are free to be our most fulfilled, multifaceted, and terrific selves.
