River in the Desert - Western Plein Aire Landscape in Acrylic on Board
Lush Western landscape by California Plein Aire artist Nick White (American, 1943-2009). The viewer stands at the edge of a bright blue river with a small waterfall. Just past the bend in the river, there are lush trees and shrubs, some with yellowing leaves, indicating the transition to autumn. Beyond the trees, a hill gently slopes until it meets large vertical monument rocks, towering above the landscape.
Signed in the lower left corner.
Acquired from the artist's estate with a collection of his work.
Board size: 36"H x 42"W
Nick White (American, 1943-2009) began painting in the early 1970s with some early success> Later in life, White was a member (and board member) of the Los Gatos Art Association. He founded the Plein Air group, which he ran until 2009. He was a dedicated painter, leading many excursions regardless of group size. He preferred to paint in acrylic, as its quick-drying properties allowed him to “work fast and loose in the style of the early California impressionists.” Two of his painting were selected for the Fiesta de Artes Posters in 2004 and 2005.
