Hobart Nichols Winter Landscape Salmagundi Club Artist, National Academy

Winter Landscape

oil/board  16 x 20 unframed image,  22.5 x 26.5 framed 

Here is a beautiful winter snow scene oil painting on board by Hobart Nichols signed lower right.  The painting is in good condition and the frame shows age with wear, chips, open corners as seen in pics. Would look awesome in a new frame as the cost to repair this original frame is very high. The painting shows Nichols traditional use of a simple but beautiful design and painterly use of paint observed throughout with very subtle shifts of warm and cool hues, blues, pinks, and violets with the warm ground showing through here and there. Just beautiful up close. There also is a label attached verso but illegible and it looks like another label has come off  on the left side.

SELLERS STATEMENTI have been in the art business as an artist and collector since the early 80's. I'm currently offering select paintings from my collection like this one. In order to collect new paintings, I must sell off some of my current collection.

 For art that I have painted, it is derived in a variety of ways. I'm a responder. I respond to light, color, design, etc. and I love painting both outdoors on location and in the studio under a controlled environment. I try to convey an idea, mood or just simply a beautiful setting. I'm inspired by a wide variety of subject matter and styles of painting and do not adhere to just one way.My paintings have won numerous awards over the years and have been collected both nationally and internationally. They can be found in three museum collections, the White House Collection and many private collections.
