Jardin du Luxembourg Painting

The expressive style of this contemporary landscape painting was inspired by time spent living in Paris, close to the Jardin du Luxembourg, a favourite place to spend time and sketch. This is the area where the chess players gather to sit and play in the shade of the trees. However, by the end of the afternoon, the space is left quiet and tranquil. The shadows are long beneath the trees and loose, bold brushstrokes convey the volume and movement of the leaves that offer cool shade, with the sunlight spilling through and lighting the path beyond. This artwork is painted with Michael Harding Professional Artists oil colours on stretched canvas. The edges are painted white, so it can be displayed framed or unframed. The painting is signed and dated on the back and is ready to hang. It will be shipped with a signed Certificate of Authenticity.
