Chanson D'amour
Artist
Lianne Schneider
Medium
Digital Art - Digital Painting/photographic Art
Description
This is a digital painting done from my own reference photos of plants in my garden. Many layers of painting are involved here, each in a slightly different style. The predominant technique is digital oils in a moderate Impressionist style. The whole is overlaid with a texture, flattened and then painted again.

The title comes from a gorgeous popular song written by Wayne Shanklin and performed by Manhattan Transfer in 1977. The very simple lyrics lose something unless you hear it sung -
Chanson d'amour, ra da da da da, play encore
Here in my heart, ra da da da da, more and more
Chanson d'amour, ra da da da da, je t'adore
Each time I hear, ra da da da da, chanson, chanson, d'amour
Ra da da da da
Ra da da da da
Chanson d'amour, ra da da da da, je t'adore
Each time I hear, ra da da da da, chanson, chanson, d'amour
Every time I hear
Chanson, chanson, d'amour
TRANSLATION:
Song of love, ra da da da da, play it again
Here in my heart, ra da da da da, more and more
Song of love, ra da da da da da I adore you
Each time I hear, ra da da da da da, song, song of love.
Tuberous Begonia:
I've no idea why such a song ran through my head as I was painting this but it just seemed right looking at this lush and lovely flower. Beautiful tuberous begonias are among the most elegant of shade-loving plants. These tender bulbs prefer humid, cool-summer climates. In these regions, their intense colors brighten shady gardens as no other plant can. My own begonias are planted where it is generally shady although at the height of summer when the sun is just in the right spot, I have to lay umbrellas on their sides in the garden to shade them. Their big, bold blooms may be single or double as plants produce separate male and female flowers. The larger flowers on the plant are male and can reach 6 inches across.
Tuberous begonias are a large and diverse group of tender, summer-flowering plants typically growing 12-18" tall and featuring brightly colored waxy-petaled flowers in colors ranging from white to yellow to apricot to pink to rose to red. The plant blooms from summer to fall. Hybrids are arranged into 13 different groups based upon such factors as flower shape (e.g., rose, camellia or carnation), petals (e.g., single, double, ruffled, banded) or habit (cascading, bushy). Pointed leaves to 8" long. This particular begonia is a camellia shaped double bushy begonia and the blossom is very large - about 5 inches across.

This painting is an ORIGINAL digital art work created on the computer from an original photo, hand-painted on a Wacom tablet using a variety of painting styles and digital mediums. (See longer explanation below of why this qualifies as an original even if it is based on an image in the public domain).

I am a western New York based artist with a passion for the sea and a deep love for the natural world around me. My paintings are sometimes based on images in the public domain or on elements from classic art work. Other paintings are based on original photographs. All are painted on a Wacom tablet using a variety of painting programs and filters and 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, but THE FINAL FORM OF THE WORK EXISTS ONLY IN THE COMPUTER AND AS THE FINAL PRINT OR AS AN EDITION OF PRINTS." Furthermore, as explained by George Whale and Naren Barfield in a speech to the IAFADP in 2001, "with an electronic pen (stylus), drawings and paintings can be created entirely on the computer using synthetic tools and materials, many of which have their own distinctive qualities." And according to ArtBusiness.com, there is a distinct difference in value between a print/scan of an original watercolor, painting or photograph "...as opposed to original digital works of art created by digital artists entirely or in part on computers which ARE considered to be unique." Similarly, the International Fine Print Dealers Association states, "The IFPDA defines an original print as a work of art on paper which has been conceived by the artist to be realized as a print, rather than as a reproduction of a work in another medium." This is exactly how I create my original works and each painting is the result of many layers of hand-painting in various styles (impasto, pen and ink, digital oils, etc.) then overlaid upon one another.
You can purchase quality traditional style fine art prints of these digital paintings, giclee canvas prints, acrylic and metallic prints by Lianne Schneider. They are beautiful and stylish decor for any wall in your home, office or lobby. My works include detailed landscapes, seascapes, still lifes, flowers and more...all with the look and feel of classic oil paintings. The FAA-Watermark will NOT appear on any final product!
Please contact the artist, Lianne Schneider, directly if you purchase this image as a giclee print on canvas, framed or unframed. A signed and numbered Certificate of Authenticity is available for each canvas indicating title of the work, my name, date of creation, a thumbnail of the painting, the origin of original work if the painting is a derivative, the number of your print in the limited printing and a guarantee that the work will no longer be available to the public in a canvas format once a total of 25 canvas prints are sold from all potential vendors.
