French Windows

Close ups

Oil on 5x7 archival canvas panel.

I came across these French windows in the Reference Image Library at the great Wet Canvas site. It inspired me to simply cut loose with slashes, dashes, and gobs of lively Spring colors.
I really enjoy doing expressive painting that invites the viewer to hang around and
discover the paint surprises taking place...to interpret.

    Spring has sprung on your canvas! Love the bright colors and the impressionistic hand; very well done, Dean.

    It is lovely! I would like to get in and look out of this beautiful window- smell the springflowers, feel the sunshine upon my face...

    I love the window, also the wise quacks. I've neglected visiting all my art friend's blogs lately and have missed seeing what you are doing.

    Très belle peinture. Dans mon village il est fréquent de voir au contour d'un chemin une petite maison aux barreaux de fenêtre similaires à ceux de votre toile. Fenêtres souvent très basses où une floraison champêtre s'enchevêtre sur le devant.
