Paintings with Purples

Purple has long been associated with royalty. "Tyrian purple" pigment came from a rare form of sea snail and became worth its weight in gold. It took two hundred and fifty thousand mollusks to create one ounce of the pigment. As ages passed, new ways were found to create the brilliant color and it eventually became more common and widely available. It was Gustav Klimt who famously layered purples and lavenders with 24kt gold leaf in his classic works.  Erin Hanson has employed purples with complementary greens or earth tones to create many bold and stunning works.

Anyone who has seen a sunset over Monument Valley will never forget it. As the world slowly darkens and the landscape hushes, the sky celebrates the closing of another day with brilliant hues and cloud formations. This painting captures that transient moment in time with thick, impasto brush strokes and expressionistic color. This painting was done on 1-1/2" canvas, with the painting continued around the edges. It has been framed in a gilded and hand-carved floater frame. --- Monument Valley <B>F U N F A C T S</B> Formed during the Permian period (50 million years before dinosaurs roamed the earth), this patch of land once formed part of a seafloor where sediments and sandstone piled up in layers for millions of years. The Valley is now a sacred place for the Navajo, whose mythology holds that these grand spires contain the spirits of Najavo warriors. Monument Valley is found on the Navajo National Reservation. The Valley is also one of the most filmed spots in the history of filmmaking. The valley was hailed "John Wayne country" for appearing in no less than five of his movies. It also served as a backdrop for an iconic scene in Forest Gump. "There are certain places in the world that seem like special effects, they don't seem real," said film historian Scott Eyman. "They're too perfect. And the first time you come here, you see it through John Ford's eyes." (Ford is widely regarded as one of the most important and influential film-makers in history.) -- This painting was a part of the <a href="https://www.erinhanson.com/Event/redrock2018" target=_blank"><i>The Red Rock Show</i></a> in San Diego in 2018. <a href="https://www.erinhanson.com/Portfolio?col=The_Red_Rock_Show_2018" target="_blank"><u>Click here</u></a> to view the other Red Rock paintings.

Erin Hanson has three collections in her portfolio for lovers of wine country: <a href="https://www.erinhanson.com/Portfolio?col0=Wine_Country">The Wine Country Collection</a>, <a href="https://www.erinhanson.com/Portfolio?col0=Vineyard_Collection">The Vineyard Collection</a>, and <a href="https://www.erinhanson.com/Portfolio?col0=Oaks_and_Hills">The Oaks and Hills Collection.</a> Erin Hanson's original oil paintings often sell before they are dry, but most of her work are available as <a href="https://www.erinhanson.com/Blog?p=Impressionism-Prints-Direct-from-Artist">canvas prints</a> or limited edition <a href="https://www.erinhanson.com/Blog?p=TechnicalSpecificationsof3DArtReproduction">3D Textured Replicas.</a> If you have your heart set on a one-of-a-kind, original oil painting by Erin Hanson, write us a <a href="https://www.erinhanson.com/Contact">message here</a> at The Erin Hanson Gallery, and we will keep you informed when Erin releases new works. <b>What is Open Impressionism?</b> Erin Hanson has created a unique style of painting in oils called "<a href="https://www.erinhanson.com/Blog?p=What-is-Open-Impressionism">Open Impressionism</a>." Her paintings immediately catch the eye because of their vibrant colors and expressive brush strokes. She creates her landscapes with a limited palette of only 5 colors, and using these 5 primary colors she pre-mixes her entire palette (over a hundred individual hues) before she ever picks up a brush. Next, she applies the paint with a confident, experienced hand, placing the paint exactly where it belongs on the canvas, and trying not to over any part of the canvas more than once. This unique method of painting in oils, without any layering, creates a stained glass or mosaic effect in her paintings. The final result is a vibrant painting that captures the landscapes she loves.
