Sunset Spruces, Frank Wilson

This original painting measures 16" x 20" matted in a 3" wide, white 4 ply Rising Museum Board Matt. The painting is painted on 108 lb. Plate finish Bristol paper. The actual size of the painting is 10" x 14". "My favorite times of the day to view the landscape is in in the early morning hours of sunrise or in the late afternoon and evening when the sun is low and about to set creating beautiful long shadows that drape across the land revealing it's form. Those moments are fleeting and are very special to the eyes. The human eye sees very differently than a camera and the challenge is to get the warmth of the colors and the glow of the atmosphere as the eyes see it not as a camera."

Canyon Oaks, Frank Wilson

This oil painting is on a 1/4 inch thick hardboard panel. It is framed in a museum quality, three inch wide, gold slope frame with dark exterior sides. Another painting in a series that I did where the canyons and buttes tapers out to rolling grasslands not just a few miles from my studio on the Duram Pentz Raod near Butte College in Butte County California, USA.. After wet springs the wildflowers are in a profusion on the meadow slopes.

Emerald Pool, Frank Wilson

This 16 x 24 inch oil painting on an archival hardboard panel is one of my landscape portraits of "The Basin" a famous natural pool in Franconia Notch, New Hampshire. The water is the most beautiful green color due to the contrasting sunlit shallows and the deep shaded areas under the sculpted granite ledges. The rock in the right foreground is called the "Heel Of The Old man Of The Mountains".
