Fall semester is starting soon at Shawnee State University in Portsmouth. I recently spent an afternoon on campus and created this painting of Shawnee’s illustrious Massie Hall. The painting was made using Impression techniques, and because I love the work of Vincent Van Gogh I took advantage of a sunny day to try his Plein Aire approach. Painting outside in this fashion was a refreshing change compared to working in the studio. I feel like the painting was better able to capture the light and the breeze because I was able to see and feel them for myself.
The original painting is now available for purchase for $175.00 and I am also selling limited edition 11″ x 14″ prints for $25.00. For those interested in purchasing this work, you may contact me at charles.e.haskins@gmail.com.
