Water Mirrow Painting

Among my en plain air paintings, this is one of the ones that satisfies me the most. I waited out the Summer storm and rushed to the river before the sunset. Once chosen the view to paint, I carefully studied the composition and framing. Only then did I quickly sketch the design and paint with more confident brushstrokes than usual. I was initially sketching an underpainting, but then I realized that those fresh and expressive brushstrokes worked "alla prima". I finished with the very last lights before sunset, then cleaned my palette, gathered my things, and walked back to my car in total darkness. This painting is inspired by Corot's riverside views, which I was studying at the time, but i think that the way I painted it is more reminiscent of Impressionism - a movement I have always appreciated since I was a child. I chose to represent this landscape without too many details, and not to sign the painting on the front so that the doubt may always arise that it is being observed upside down. I like the idea that reality isn't necessarily how we perceive it, and that its reflection can mingle with it to such an extent as to raise the doubt that perhaps reality is what we consider the reflection itself. This painting is made on a plywood poplar board, prepared by the artist with traditional "gesso" primer made of rabbit-skin glue and Bologna gypsum. After complete drying, it was finished and protected with final varnish. The board is also painted on the edges. It already has a hook and can be hung with or without a frame. It is sold without a frame. It is sold with a certificate of authenticity.
