11 x 14" original oil on archival canvas board, copyright 2008 by Jonathan Hartley, Unvarnished and unframed.

My humble tribute to artist Claude Monet, that great French Impressionist who so wonderfully captured the essence of light and air. A small boat landing in rural America provides the subject matter for this pondscape. The scene is borrowed from childhood memories spent fishing with a favorite uncle. A gorgeous still life featuring realistic renderings of sunlight reflections and wonderful foreshortened perspective on the boats. And all done in an expressive palette resembling the colors of Monet.
