Description

The second in my four seasons folk art series, this is a hand-painted digital oil based only in part on a work by Henry Parker called "Harvest Time Lambourne Berks" probably painted in 1890. Parker's most prolific period was at the end of the Victorian era making most of his works public domain. This original is in the public domain. Using the foreground elements from that painting, I combined Parker's elegant style with my own more primitive folk art style and added other folk art elements in the background. The result cannot remotely be called a reproduction though it is fairly a reinterpretation. The whole is a multilayered composite accomplished entirely by hand and using a number of additional filters, painting styles and textures.

According to' Wikipedia: Folk art encompasses art produced from an indigenous culture or by --peasants or other laboring tradespeople. In contrast to fine art, folk art is primarily utilitarian and decorative rather than purely aesthetic. Folk Art is characterized by a naive style, in which traditional rules of proportion and perspective are not employed. Folk art expresses cultural identity by conveying shared community values and aesthetics."

Henry H. Parker was a British artist working at the end of the Victorian Era. It is believed that he was born in London and was based there for most of his life. Like many of his contemporaries, he concentrated on painting "pure" landscapes - a genre that he mastered early in his career. His landscapes are lush and tranquil, frequently featuring a lone figure in a boat or walking down a country path. The scenes are often sunny and bright and the waters are calm and soothing.

His style shows a great influence by the Impressionists, through his use of bright colors and quick brush strokes, but a definite understanding of the Academic principles is also displayed. This style of painting was very typical for the late Victorian landscape artists who strove to incorporate the new Impressionist techniques in their more traditional paintings. His landscapes and skies were created with a free, but controlled, application of paint while the watery areas of his work were handled in the more traditional way - using glazes to create depth and reflections. His paintings are well composed, beautifully balanced and capture the landscape in its most pure and natural state. This colorful and free look was a welcome relief to the traditional Victorian landscapes of the previous decades and this, coupled with Parker's choice of subject matter, brought him great success. His favorite locales were in Surrey, Kent and Wales - especially views on the Thames - and he would often sign and title his works, with their exact location, on the revere.

Of final note, it is very interesting that Parker was one of only a handful of artists, of his caliber, to never exhibit at the major exhibition halls in England during his lifetime.

Because the final creations are entirely digital in nature they are considered to be original art work, not reproductions. According to the International Association of Fine Art Digital Print Makers (IAFADP), "An original digital print is not based upon using original artwork outside of the computer. The artist may use elements as source materials, such as photographs, drawings or other appropriated images (those in the public domain), but THE FINAL FORM OF THE WORK EXISTS ONLY IN THE COMPUTER AND AS THE FINAL PRINT OR AS AN EDITION OF PRINTS."
