This large, lovely Impressionist painting captures the freshness of a new day. A French color pallet of soft yellows, creamy whites, and brilliant reds create an inviting scene. The is a one-of-a-kind original, signed and dated by the artist. It is painted on canvas, mounted on stretcher bars, and is ready for framing. If you choose to hang it unframed, the edges of the canvas are carefully painted so that the images wrap around the sides. A certificate of authenticity will accompany the painting. ARTIST'S STATEMENT: I took photos of the charming historic town of Galena, Illinois early one morning before the shops were open. I then started the painting back in my studio using the pictures as a guide.
