After Constable #5
An affectionate interpretation of the English romantic landscape paintings of John Constable.
Some years ago, I painted several oil sketches taking inspiration from the English romantic landscape paintings of John Constable. Years later, I used the sketches, mounted them on canvas, and painted them with bright color borders. The borders were reminiscent of my time in Jamaica where I lived for many years. The brightness contrasts well with the quiet sketches, thus the English countryside is raging with more exotic colors.
I did this oil painting on canvas and then affixed it to a 30-inch x 40-inch oil painted canvas.
The painting is on a 1.5-inch deep stretcher frame with the sides of the canvas painted and is ready for hanging.
The painting is signed and dated on the back of the canvas (2011).
