Details: Original pastel landscape titled "Last Days of Spring" by acclaimed American Impressionist, Lorenzo Chavez. The artist's works are inspired by the deep blue of the vaulting sky, majestic cloud formations, rabbit brush, pinon, pine and juniper bushes, the willows that line the stream banks, the granite in the mountain ranges, aspens and the endless seas of grasses that are attributes to his native surroundings of New Mexico and current home in Colorado. This particular piece depicts a desolate winding dirt road leading to a community of adobe style dwellings at the base of a mountain showing remnants of diminishing snow in the distance, foreshadowing the beginning of summer. Signed in the lower right hand corner, as well as on the back along with the title. Framed in a bevelled, burnished gold trimmed, burlwood frame with ecru silk matting and UV protective plexiglass.
Dimensions: Frame=19.5"w x 1.25"d x 18.25"h (4lbs 6oz) Artwork=8 x 10"
Condition: The artwork itself is in perfect condition, however, there are some blemishes on the interior matting along the bottom edge and some minor wear on the black edges of the frame(see detailed photos).
A Bit About the Artist: Lorenzo Chavez was born and raised in the southern most point of the Rockies in New Mexico. His first inspirations and foundation as a young artist were formed by the local landscape and the art history in New Mexico. Using pastel and oil mediums, his hope is to carry on the art traditions of American painters such as the Taos Society of Artists and the American Impressionists. Lorenzo is represented by many major fine art galleries and many private and corporate collections both nationally and internationally.
