… landscape, by William Merrett Chase
I felt the need for the full, warm healing light of summer sun today and this painting by Chase fit the bill perfectly. Enjoy.

Very nice.
A little research suggests to me that this was painted at his Shinnecock Hills Summer School on Long Island, NY.
I wanted to find out because although it’s an impressionist piece the color palette didn’t quite look European to me. Not that I know anything about art, even though I’ve seen a lot of it. I don’t remember William Merrett Chase coming to my attention before, although I may have seen his work and just didn’t realize it.
It’s certainly nicer than the grey day we’re having here.
This must have been painted in the Golden Era before the invention of Ants.
@flex,
I’ve spent a lot of time on the Gaspe Peninsula and the light is very reminiscent of what I see there. So, it’s nice to know it was painted in a similar light.
Thanks for looking up the information.
