The Hunt, Simon Lavigne, 30″ x 24″, oil, $1200

Simon says of his inspiration and process:

“In regard to my selection for landscape reference material, I seek a sense of nostalgia and familiarity. While I adhere quite closely to rendering the actual photograph, I allow many interpretations/omissions to occur during the process to render a more effective composition. I find the constant challenge with landscapes is in the attempt to capture the mood of a place, a moment charged with meaning and depth.”

Young and Beautiful, Simon Lavigne, 60″ x 36″, oil, $3200
