About the Painting

Summer shadows curve over this dusky golden hillside of summer. The cool green undertones of the canvas make the painting glow with a subtle light, while the thickly applied, painterly brush strokes are evocative of a Van Gogh expressionist landscape painting.

Hanson's modern blend of impressionism, plein aire technique, and expressionism have been heralded as a new style: Open Impressionism. These stylized and abstract landscapes blend the painterly effects of distinct brush strokes with a clean-cut, mosaic tile effect of laying brush strokes side-by-side without layering. Hanson uses large piles of oil paint, without any additives or gels, and uses only a brush to build up the heavy texture seen in her paintings.

This painting was created on gallery-depth canvas, with the painting continued around the edges. This painting may be hung without being framed, as the sides are painted as a continuation of the piece.

Collection of The Allegretto Vineyard Resort, Paso Robles, CA. 2015.


 

Erin Hanson ArtistERIN HANSON has been painting in oils since she was 8 years old. As a young artist, she worked at a mural studio creating 40-foot-tall paintings on canvas, while selling art commissions on the side. After getting a degree in Bioengineering from UC Berkeley, Erin became a rock climber at Red Rock Canyon, Nevada. Inspired by the colorful scenery she was climbing, she decided to paint one painting every week for the rest of her life. She has stuck to that decision ever since, becoming one of the most prolific artists in history. Erin Hanson's style is known as "Open Impressionism" and is now taught in art schools worldwide. With thousands of collectors eagerly anticipating her work and millions of followers online, Hanson has become an iconic, driving force in the rebirth of contemporary impressionism.
