Spring Patterns, Santa Paula

Creator: Dennis Doheny
Offered by: William A. Karges Fine Art

Description
The location of this painting is Santa Paula in Ventura County, California. It is, quite simply, the artist's absolutely mesmerizing interpretation of Spring. At first glance, this appears to be a fundamental color study that serves as an exploration of varying shades of green, from emerald, to shamrock, to sunlit lime. Then, as we take our time and look more closely at “Spring Patterns”, we begin to notice the intricate designs on the mountainside. Large, rather unexpected shapes and motifs formed by light and shade seem to materialize before us. In fact, the main focus of the painting can be found in the subtle, softly glowing streaks of lavender light that run horizontally across the upper portion of the steep cliffs. An even deeper examination reveals tiny, separate, individual blades of grass in the foreground that have been painted with delicate, razor-thin brushstrokes.
