Dusk


"Dusk"
8 x 10 inches
oil on board
impressionism
by
Jack Providenti

In the forest, the small window of dusk allows a special enchantment and the fading daylight displays colors that one wouldn't ordinarily see. What I like about impressionistic painting is that the artist portrays his impression...his response to what he is viewing. I painted this in the Cibola National Forest in New Mexico.

Walk Near The Aspens

impressionism
by
Jack Providenti

I followed a dirt road off the main hwy, passed a "no tresspassing" sign, and came upon this friendly Autumn scene. I was really inspired to paint this...the morning sunlight streaming through the Aspens on the left, while displaying the late summer colors along the path and up the hill.

Most of us think of New Mexico as desert, prairie, and sky, but there exists beyound that a world of endless hidden treasures such as this one neatly tucked into the mountains that stretch throughout the state.

I can make any of these 8x10 inch paintings in to a larger, oil on canvas for you on a commission basis...just contact me. To purchase this painting, or order reproductions or note cards of this or any of my paintings, simply send me an e-mail with your request.

The Schoolhouse

Impressionism

Jack Providenti
To a landscape painter the terrain here is a paradise. Mojave Academy lies tucked in a valley in the middle of Cibola National Forest, New Mexico. Along the mountain slopes protecting the valley are Ponderosa Pines, Cedar, Oak & Pinion pines. In September the ground is randomly covered with purple and yellow wild flowers.

I've done a lot of painting here....this is one of my favorites.

If you would like to purchase this painting, or order reproductions or note cards please send me an e-mail. To see paintings that I have done of Florid'a Gulf Coast, please visit my web site.

"Cheri's Clouds...The Western Prairie" by Jack Providenti


8 x 10 inches
oil on board

Mind & Spirit feel the desire to wander here on the high desert plains of New Mexico. Some of us are invited by the rolling rythm of the hills, while others are inspired by the space that is opened up through the sky and clouds. I gave the clouds & and sky to Cheri.

While it may appear detailed to some degree, this painting is an impression. Impressionism is a stlyle of painting which is not intended to be a copy of a scene as much as it is the artist's  response to a scene.

The Fall season has arrived in the mountains... the night frost melting with the rising sun creates a kind of magical atmosphere. I took several photos of a misty morning and painted this scene. I hope it communicates the mystical kind of feeling that can be experienced in the forest. If you would like more information about this painting, or note cards of it, please send me an e-mail .

New Mexico Rabbit Brush


"The Rabbit Brush"
8 x 10 inches
oil on board

I am fascinated with this stuff that is called "rabbit brush". Each bush grows to about three feet in diameter by September. They become a complete ground covering creating a greyish purple terrain dotted with bright yellow blooms. Here they sit at the entrance of a forest.

Enchanted Woods


Enchanted Woods
oil on hardboard
8 x 10 inches

This scene is from the Cibola National Forest, New Mexico....I'm fortunate enough to live here, and I'm constantly inspired by the many moods of these mountain woods. This piece is a study from my "painting a day" activity and I may use later as a reference for a larger piece.
