This painting of the Lincoln Memorial is based on an almost 30-year-old print photo. It is backlit; all I can see is the dark silhouette of the beautiful memorial and the setting sun's burst caught in the foliage. I lightened the image during the painting process so that you can see the memorial and surrounding landscaping better, and concentrated on the bright orange sunburst.
With a famous scene like this, which had been painted so many times, I needed a special mood to make my painting stand out. The mood of mellow tranquility at the end of the day after visiting this well-known place fits the bill.
The painting size is 8" x 10". Signed on front; varnished. The painting is framed in a beautiful, deep red brown, wooden frame and ready to hang for your pleasure. The framed size is 12.5" x 14.5".
Oil on oil-primed Belgian linen on masonite panel. The painting is mounted on panel with archival glue. In other words, I have used a top quality material, which guarantees a long-term conservation of the painting.
