GREGORY FRANK HARRIS Connecticut and Massachusetts Landscapes
These landscape oil paintings of various sizes, demonstrate a strong feeling for color, reflected light, and an understanding of shadows and atmosphere. One feels transported to a grassy field with distant morning fog, or to the leafy shade of a forest setting. Gregory once moved to Lyme, Connecticut, just to paint the landscape there.
Most of his pictures are a combination of brush and palette knife techniques depending on edge quality, the softness or hardness of forms, i.e., leaves, rocks or blurred distances. He also has very soft brushes that he can use to go back in areas of the painting to adjust the edges. When he paints an atmospheric scene, he’ll use a thinner application of paint, blurring the edges with a brush or knife on a smooth canvas or panel. (CLICK PHOTO TO VIEW FRAME AND DETAIL)
