“ MORNING, BASS RIVER, (ALMOST) ALONE WITH THE SEA AND SUN, Bass River Scene with Opty & Osprey”
As I have said before, one of my favorite artists is French post impressionist,
Albert Marquet. His seaside and water view scenes of Parris and the Riviera recreate the world through light, simple, direct, with a soft brush touch, but still so accurate and I would say minimalist. Not an artist who gets much attention, but I admire and try to emulate him.
His style, his Paintings “sit right” with me. The simple quiet things in the world around me are what I love to paint and so like Cape Cod, surrounded by water, the soft grays and the brilliant light too.
